Bayview Blanket Knitting Pattern by Michelle Como for Tahki Yarns

The Bayview Blanket is a beautifully structured, generously sized knitted throw designed by Michelle Como and published by Tahki Yarns. Available as a downloadable PDF, this pattern produces a finished blanket measuring 36 x 50 inches (90 x 125 cm) — a versatile size perfect for draping over a sofa, layering on a bed, or gifting as a thoughtful handmade piece. Rated Easy, this is an ideal project for beginner knitters who are ready to move beyond simple stockinette and explore a classic, visually rewarding stitch pattern.

What You Will Make

The finished project is a flat, rectangular blanket or throw worked entirely in a repeating Chevron Stitch pattern across a cast-on of 121 stitches. The chevron design creates a flowing, wave-like zigzag texture that runs the full length of the blanket. The design is elevated through a thoughtfully arranged stripe sequence using five distinct colors, giving the finished piece a bold yet harmonious palette of natural, earthy, and accent tones.

Techniques Used

• Worked flat: The blanket is knitted back and forth in rows on a circular needle, making it a straightforward flat construction with no seaming required.
• Stripes: Color is changed at regular intervals throughout the blanket, creating wide horizontal stripe bands. Each accent color stripe spans 32 rows, while the natural color (Color A) separator stripes span 16 rows each, giving the layout a rhythmic, balanced structure.
• Chevron Stitch pattern: This is the defining technique of the Bayview Blanket. The chevron is worked over a multiple of 24 stitches plus 1, and creates its characteristic peaks and valleys through a combination of increases and decreases placed at precise intervals across every right-side row.
• Blocking: The pattern instructs knitters to block the finished blanket to its full measurements, which is especially important for opening up the chevron pattern and achieving clean, even edges.

Stitches Used

• Knit (k): The foundation stitch used throughout all right-side rows.
• Purl: All wrong-side rows are purled, including yarn overs, which are purled through the back loop to close the stitch and maintain the chevron's clean lines.
• Yarn over (yo): Used as an increase to create the outward peaks of the chevron pattern.
• Knit 2 together (k2tog): A right-leaning decrease used at the edges of the chevron to shape the valleys.
• Slip, slip, knit (ssk): A left-leaning decrease that mirrors the k2tog at the opposite side of the chevron edge.
• Centered double decrease (cdd): A key stitch in the chevron pattern — worked by slipping 2 stitches together as if to k2tog, knitting 1, then passing the slipped stitches over. This creates a sharp, symmetrical valley at the center of each chevron repeat and is what gives the pattern its crisp, defined zigzag appearance.

Materials: Yarn and Needles

The Bayview Blanket is worked in Tahki Hatteras, a 100% organic cotton yarn in a chunky weight, with each hank weighing 100g and measuring 109 yards (100m). The pattern calls for a total of 6 hanks across five colors:

• 3 hanks in #02 Natural (Color A) — the primary background and separator stripe color

• 1 hank in #15 Charcoal (Color D)
• 1 hank in #17 Persimmon (Color E)
