On the Porch Blanket is easy to knit using only knit and purl stitches. It's a great knitting project for beginners, as well as experienced knitters who enjoy a relaxing knit. The blanket is knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles. The PDF pattern has clear and beginner friendly instructions for six (6) blanket sizes from baby blanket to XXL afghan. This design is a popular choice for modern baby blankets and everyday throws. On the Porch blanket is inspired by childhood memories of summer evenings on my grandparents’ screened porch. The simple textured stripe design reminds me of the old, painted wood floor of their porch. Recommended #4 weight yarns include: Lion Brand Heartland (shown in photo in 'Congaree'), Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling, and Lion Brand Wool-Ease.

Daniel L. ★★★★★

The pattern is so straightforward—just knit and purl stitches, which makes it perfect for unwinding after work. I finished mine in about two weeks of evening sessions, and the flat construction made it easy to keep my rows even.

Ava ★★★★★

I didn’t need to look at my pattern once I got the rhythm of the knit-purl repeats going, and the whole thing worked up flat without any fiddly seams. It’s been my evening wind-down project for a week now, and I’m already planning a second one in a different color.

Michael P. ★★★★★

I'm a fairly new knitter and this project has been perfect for evenings when I just want to zone out with my needles. The flat knit construction means I can work on it in bed without wrestling a circular needle, and the mix of knit and purl rows keeps it interesting without ever stressing me out.
