Village Blanket Kit
$85
The Village Blanket concept is simple and suitable for anyone with basic knitting skills. The kit includes instructions for 8 stitch patterns that can be knit in squares or long strips. Combine them together or use on their own. The 8 stitch patterns are chosen because they are simple but decorative and make a good looking but functional blanket. The Sheep's Back wool is extremely economical - you're buying directly from the woolgrower, making it perfect for knitting blankets without breaking the bank.
Knit using double strand wool (knit from 2 balls at once), on large needles - make for yourself or as a gift. This is an efficient and interesting way to knit a larger item like a blanket.
Note - photo shown on left is an example of how the different stitch patterns can be used. This example was knitted on larger needles (12mm).
Included in the kit:
- 750g wool (7 x 100g, 1 x 50g balls), Natural NZ wool (This is enough to make a small blanket equivalent to 15 squares or approx. 1m x .6m)
- 7mm quality bamboo needles (33cm length)
- 7mm cable needle
- Knitting Instructions booklet
- Full colour instructions for 8 different stitch patterns suitable for blankets, use either on their own or combine
- Measuring tape & sewing up needle
- Calico carry bag
If you would like to knit a larger blanket, you can purchase additional wool yarn. Recommendation: Medium size 1.4kg total, Large size 2kg total. (Note - this is based on knitting entirely in garter stitch which produces the heaviest of stitch patterns)
