Chunky Woven Celtic Blanket Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Chunky Woven Celtic Blanket is a large-scale throw blanket designed by Reena Belford of I LOVE MY BLANKET. This downloadable knitting pattern creates a finished blanket measuring approximately 39 inches by 48 inches (99 cm by 122 cm), making it an ideal size for a cozy throw or lap blanket. The blanket features Celtic-inspired design elements worked into the fabric through the knitting technique.

Skill Level and Craft Technique

This pattern is rated at an Intermediate/Advanced skill level, making it suitable for knitters with solid foundational experience. The primary craft used is knitting, specifically employing a woven knitting technique that creates texture and visual interest through the manipulation of stitches and yarn loops. The woven construction method distinguishes this blanket from traditional stockinette or garter stitch blankets, requiring knitters to understand how to integrate woven elements into their knitting practice.

Yarn and Materials

The Chunky Woven Celtic Blanket pattern calls for 9 balls of Alize Puffy yarn, with each ball weighing 3.53 ounces (100 grams). The yarn shown in the pattern photographs is in colorway 437. This is a super chunky weight yarn, which creates quick results and bold texture. The pattern notes that any brand of loop yarn can be substituted, though the final blanket size may vary depending on loop size and ball weight of alternative brands. Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ is specifically mentioned as a suitable alternative yarn option.
