Free Pattern Friday – Pink Promise Blanket

This week’s offering is the Pink Promise Blanket, knit in our versatile and dependable Major! The Pink Promise Blanket, designed by Afifa Sayeed, is a special pattern that holds meaning for those who are affected by breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so we wanted to present something that would bring a touch of joy to a somber subject. Whether you have a loved one going through treatment, want to make it for yourself, or are honoring someone close to you who has passed, this simple project is worth the effort.

Built block by block, this blanket starts in one corner and steadily grows into a large square blanket. Each section alternates color and stitch pattern – garter stitch and stockinette stitch – and finally, an easy border is applied in garter stitch to complete the blanket.

Despite the name of the project, you can reimagine the Pink Promise Blanket in any color. With our extensive palette in Major, you have so many options to choose from! Pick two similar shades or go for a striking contrast.

Major is 100% soft, plushy acrylic, so the snuggly blanket (or blankets!) you make from it will be washable, dryable, and 100% full of love! With 328 yards in this extra big 200 gram ball, you’ll definitely be getting a sweet deal. Speaking of deals, Major is 20% off through Sunday, so now is the right time to stock up!

Enjoy every stitch,

Chloe
