Snakes and Ladders Blanket

Snakes and Ladders Blanket by ilovemyblanket

Project Overview

The Snakes and Ladders Blanket is an intermediate-level knitting pattern designed by Reena Belford of I LOVE MY BLANKET. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a cozy throw blanket measuring approximately 42 inches by 50 inches (107cm x 127cm), making it an ideal size for draping over furniture or snuggling during relaxation.

Craft and Techniques

This project is created using the knitting technique, suitable for crafters with intermediate skill level. The pattern utilizes loop yarn, a distinctive material that creates texture through pre-formed loops rather than traditional yarn stitches. Loop yarn knitting is an accessible technique that produces visually striking results with minimal stitch complexity, as the loops themselves form the primary design element of the finished blanket.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Snakes and Ladders Blanket pattern calls for super chunky weight yarn in the form of loop yarn. The pattern specifies 8 balls of Alize Puffy yarn, each ball containing 3.53 ounces (100 grams). The sample shown features Alize Puffy in colorway '646'. The pattern is designed to work with any brand of loop yarn, though crafters should note that loop size and ball/skein dimensions vary between manufacturers. Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ is listed as a suitable substitute yarn option.
