Half-Linen Stitch Knit Blanket with Faux Fur Trim

This Knitted Blanket Pattern uses the half-linen stitch and is trimmed with a faux fur applied i-cord. Optional instructions to finish this blanket with seed stitch instead of the faux fur applied i-cord are also included.

It was a relatively quick knit using the half-linen stitch and chunky yarn. However, let’s be honest! I like the half-linen stitch and all, but this knitted blanket pattern is so fun because of that faux fur edge around it! I used Sirdar's Alpine in Brindle and knit a 5 stitch applied i-cord to give the fur trim a little heft. Sirdar’s Alpine is sooo soft…I was really pleasantly surprised. My expectation was a faux fur that would be kinda scritchy- scratchy. This was anything but scratchy! It is rabbit fur soft and a delight to knit with. So much so, that I am actively pondering additional projects to use it.
