Loop Yarn Blanket Pattern

Working with loop yarn is so much fun! Technically, it’s knitting with your fingers…but really, you don’t even have to know how to knit! If you can pull one loop through the next, then you’re good to go. Seriously, it’s that easy! And guess what–- I’ve included photos to guide you along the way.

I have designed a fun blanket that is great for even the newest of yarn lovers. This blanket only has a few steps but you’ll love the texture!

Now, any loop yarn will work but the one I used was from Herrschners.com. You’ll need about 60 yards of the fluffy goodness to complete this blanket.

This sweet blanket is good for kids or even as a cozy throw for adults…you can’t go wrong with this go-to pattern for loop yarn!

FIRST SIDE

Set Up

Pull out one end of yarn and count out 68 loops. You’ll be working on just 65 loops. This length of 65 loops will be the beginning of your Blanket, the other 3 loops are beginning yarn tail and will be secured later.

Lay this length of 65 loops onto a flat surface, with the end of the yarn on your right hand side.

Check to be sure that all loops are facing upwards and that the loops aren’t twisted.

Now you’ll be working in rows across the length of loops.

The yarn that’s coming from the yarn ball is called the working yarn.

Hold the working yarn behind the length of loops.

With your thumb and index finger, reach through the first loop on the right hand side, reaching from front through to back, and pull the next loop from the working yarn through the first loop.

Row 1: Working across the length of loops from right to left, continue to pull the next loop of working yarn through the next loop on the length of loops until you have pulled up 75 loops.

Note:

On the First Side Row 1 is the right side, the side that will face out on the Blanket. Do not turn at the end of each Row. Keep the right side facing up at all times. The yarn that’s coming from the yarn ball is called the working yarn.

 

 

Row 2: Working from left to right, with the working yarn in the back (do not turn the work), pull up a loop in each loop.

 

 

Row 3: Move the working yarn to the back. Working from right to left, with the working yarn in the back and reaching through from front to back, pull up a loop in each loop.

 

Row 4: Move the working yarn to the front. Working from right to left, with the working yarn in the front and reaching from back to front pull up a loop in each loop.

 

Rows 5-63: Repeat Rows 2-4.

Row 64: Repeat Row 2.

 

As the work progresses, you’ll need to join a new skein of yarn. Simply cut the last 2 loops of the working yarn and the first 2 loops of the new yarn and then knot them together. You can then weave in the ends on the back side of the work.

 

FINISH OFF LOOPS

Now you’ll need to finish off your loops. Drop the working yarn. Cut open 3 loops and leave a long tail.

 

Start on opposite end of yarn tail.

Working in the same direction as the last row you made, pull the second loop through the first; pull the third loop through the second; pull the fourth through the third – and so on across to the end of the row.

 

Now you’re back at the side with yarn tail. Pull working yarn (yarn tail) through the last loop and knot.

Weave in the ends on the back side of the blanket.
