Knitting a double bed blanket can be a great way to add a personal touch to your bedroom decor. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this guide will walk you through the process of creating a beautiful matrimonial cover. Let’s get started!

Choosing Your Yarn and Needles

Before you begin knitting, you’ll need to gather the necessary materials. For a double bed blanket, you’ll need around 12 skeins of bulky yarn. Choose a yarn that is soft and cozy, ensuring it will provide warmth during those chilly nights.

  • 12 skeins of bulky yarn
  • Size 10 or 11 knitting needles

Getting Started with Casting On

Once you have your materials ready, it’s time to cast on. This is the process of creating the foundation row of stitches. Start by making a slip knot and place it on one of your knitting needles. Use the long-tail cast on method to cast on 120 stitches.

Knitting the Base Rows

After casting on, it’s time to start knitting the base rows. Knit each row in a simple garter stitch pattern, which means knitting every stitch on both sides. Continue knitting until your blanket measures approximately 5 inches in length.

Adding Pattern Stitches

Once you have the base rows completed, it’s time to add some pattern stitches to make your blanket more visually appealing. You can choose from a variety of stitch patterns such as the seed stitch, basketweave stitch, or even a simple ribbing pattern.

  • Seed Stitch: *K1, P1* repeat across the row
  • Basketweave Stitch: K4, P4* repeat across the row, alternating every other row
  • Ribbing Pattern: *K2, P2* repeat across the row

Continue Knitting

Keep repeating the pattern stitches you chose until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to periodically measure your blanket to ensure it will fit your double bed perfectly.

Finishing Off

Once your blanket has reached the desired size, it’s time to finish off. Knit a few more base rows in the garter stitch pattern before binding off your stitches. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and thread it through the last stitch to secure it.

Blocking and Care Instructions

After finishing off, you may notice that your blanket has some uneven edges. To fix this, block your blanket by gently wetting it and laying it flat to dry. This will help even out the stitches and give your blanket a polished look.

To keep your newly knitted double bed blanket in great condition, follow these care instructions:

  • Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water
  • Use a mild detergent
  • Do not bleach
  • Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods

Now you have all the steps and tips you need to knit your own double bed blanket. Get creative with your choice of yarn and stitch patterns to make a beautiful matrimonial cover that will add warmth and style to your bedroom!
