Pescadero Harvest Blanket

This **Pescadero Harvest Blanket** features a cozy, reversible checkerboard texture created with a simple combination of Seed, Stockinette, and Reverse Stockinette stitch patterns with a slipped stitch edge. It is named for a favorite local coastal farming town along California Highway 1, south of my knitting studio. Pescadero’s produce fields, tucked between the Pacific Ocean and rolling hills, grow coastal favorites like artichokes, strawberries, and pumpkins. Those tidy harvest rows inspired this blanket’s warm, woven design. 8-Page Downloadable Digital PDF: 8.5" x 11" **Skill Level:** Experienced Beginner **Knitting Supplies** Yarn – Bulky Weight #5 • Sample with Cascade Yarns 128 Superwash, amount depends on size selected Stroller (Baby, Lapghan, Throw) 301 (596, 1,132, 1,893) yards 275 (545, 1,035, 1,731) meters • 1 Circular Knitting Needle #10 US / 6.0 mm, 36” length • Tapestry Needle • Scissors • Stitch Markers • Blocking Mats & T-Pins (optional) **[Pescadero Harvest Blanket Yarn Kits >][1]** **Yarn Substitution Recommendations** • Berroco Vintage Chunky • Cascade Yarns Pacific Chunky • Ella Rae Chunky Merino Superwash • Ewe Ewe Baa Baa Bulky • Lion Brand Hue + Me • Malabrigo Vientos • Plymouth Encore Mega **Knitting Techniques** • BO = Bind Off • CO = Long-Tail Cast On • K = Knit Stitch • P = Purl Stitch • PM = Place Marker • RM = Remove Marker • SL1 WYIF = Slip 1 St Purlwise with Yarn in Front • SM = Slip Marker • Sts = Stitches • Weave-in Yarn Ends * * = Repeat Pattern Between Asterisks I hope you are inspired to knit my Pescadero Harvest Blanket for yourself, family, and friends. _____ **Knitting Technical Editor:** A huge thank you to [Kim Wilkerson of Knit Julep][2] for her expert technical editing on this knitting pattern!
