This summer I needed some seriously easy knitting. No pattern, no fuss. But I wanted it to be interesting. Enter the copycat blanket. I made one of these for Tuesday way way back, here is the Ravelry link. I call it the copycat blanket because I got the idea for it from another blanket I saw (details on the Ravlery page). I did it just as she said for the first one, starting with a few stitches and increasing at marked places. For this second one I wanted a cleaner middle so I used a special kind of cast on made for starting in the middle of things.
Oh man this was a tricky start. But I’m so happy with how it worked out.
It isn’t done yet, but it’s so easy I wanted to share in case you need a project like this. I am using two skeins of Socks that Rock in medium weight. I alternate the colors every other row. I also increase on either side of four stitch markers, evenly spaced, every other row. That’s it! And I think this project just gets better and better as it gets cooler and cooler.
Have you cast on anything this fall?
That first picture looks scary…
Beautiful colors, and the blanket looks great!
That is very pretty! I wish I already knew how to knit.
