In Process: Lord of the Rings Double Knit Blanket
This post contains affiliate links at no additional cost to you.
Those that know me know that I love Lord of the Rings. My brother does too, so I have endeavored to make him a blanket.
I wasn’t sure which knitting technique I wanted to use. I had just learned stranded knitting which seemed easy enough however I was concerned with the thickness of the fabric and the backside. Normally I don’t make swatches, but this time I did. While swatching I had to hide so many of the strands lest they get pulled, that the front of the knit appeared to be twisting. My little swatch was also very thin. Much too thin for a nice movie watching blanket. That’s when I decided to explore double knitting.
For my first double knit blanket, I am extremely pleased with how it is turning out. The yarn I chose is Till by Purl Soho and it has been lovely to work with. I have much more to go and I am hoping to complete it by Christmas.
