BLANKET 02: Staggered Eyelet

The Blanket 02 Knitting Pattern is an advanced beginner pattern for knitting a classic textured blanket featuring a simple staggered eyelet stitch and a clean applied I-cord edging. Worked flat in an easy-to-follow 8-row repeat, the staggered eyelets create a light, understated texture across the surface of the blanket. The finished blanket is bordered with an applied I-cord for a polished, modern edge. The downloadable PDF includes clear written instructions, sizing and finished measurements, yarn requirements, gauge information, and technique guidance to help you complete your project. A full tutorial for this blanket project is also available on the M1R KNIT blog and YouTube channel here: [https://m1rknit.com/tutorials/blanket-02][1] ABOUT THE PATTERN Blanket 02 is worked flat using an 8-row staggered eyelet stitch pattern. After the main blanket is completed and bound off, an applied I-cord is worked around the entire perimeter to create a smooth, finished edge. The eyelet pattern uses simple yarn overs and decreases to create evenly spaced openings that shift position through the repeat, producing the subtle staggered design.
