Ready to knit a cozy, high-texture throw without the stress? This textured blanket knitting pattern from Smiling Colors features a beautiful “cobblestone” look that is far easier than it appears! The secret is an easy pass-over stitch repeat that creates raised “stone lines” for a chunky, professional finish.
The project is worked by knitting with two strands of yarn at once, which makes it grow incredibly fast. Even if you are just building your confidence, the simple 4-row repeat – driven mostly by slip stitches – provides amazing texture. For a fun twist, try pairing a variegated yarn with a solid color to create unique colorways. This textured blanket knitting pattern is the perfect “anytime” project. Once you get the rhythm of the slip stitches and raised bumps, you’ll love watching this drapey blanket come to life!
