Susan's Woven Stripes Blanket


I finished knitting Susan's Woven Stripes blanket last week.


The edges of my blanket were quite ruffled (probably due to the acrylic yarn I used); however, I followed WoolWinder's tip to "kill" the acrylic. The blanket now has a nice drape and shape. Directions on how to kill acrylic can be found here.


Thank you, Bonnie for helping me set up a Google Document page to share the pattern. Your directions worked perfectly.

Update: at WoolWinder's request, here is a view of the back.

  2. This is timely as I just finished an acrylic cardigan. I knew I would have to kill the acrylic to get the drape I needed.

  7. Wow, it does look very complicated. But, ooh it would use some of the excess yarn I have hanging around. But what would I stop so I could do this? Quilting, knitting socks, counted cross stitch small projects? Decisions, decisions! I'll keep the pattern for a future use. Glad the instructions for loading the pattern worked for you.

  12. that is a lovely blanket - thanks for sharing the pattern. That might make a much better handknit gift for the groom than the hemlock. I'm making shawls for the bride, the bridal party, the MOG, MOB, and SMOB - the groom should get something, no? g
