Blanket and Bed Runner Knitted in King Cole Super Chunky

What is Being Made

This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole provides instructions for creating a coordinated set of two pieces: a blanket and a bed runner. Both projects are designed using King Cole Super Chunky yarn, making them ideal for quick completion and bold, textured results. These pieces are perfect for adding warmth and visual interest to a bedroom while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic.

Craft and Technique

This is a knitting project suitable for beginner-level crafters. The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting techniques that are accessible to those new to the craft while still producing impressive, professional-looking results. The use of super chunky yarn means stitches work up quickly, providing satisfying progress and faster project completion times.

Stitches Used

• 1x1 Rib: A classic ribbed stitch created by alternating knit and purl stitches in a one-by-one pattern, often used for edges and cuffs to create elasticity and definition
• Stocking Stitch (St-St): The fundamental knit stitch pattern created by alternating rows of knit stitches on the right side with purl stitches on the wrong side, producing a smooth, classic fabric texture

Materials and Gauge Information

This pattern is worked using King Cole Super Chunky yarn with 10mm or 12mm knitting needles, depending on your individual tension and the specific gauge requirements for each component. Proper tension is essential for successful completion.

The pattern specifies two tension options:

• 10 stitches and 14 rows to 10 centimetres (4 inches) over stocking stitch using 10mm needles
• 8 stitches and 12 rows to 10 centimetres (4 inches) over stocking stitch using 12mm needles

Needle selection should be adjusted based on your personal gauge: use finer needles if you have fewer stitches per 10 centimetres than specified, or larger needles if you have more stitches per 10 centimetres. Working to the correct tension ensures the finished blanket and bed runner will be the intended size and drape properly.
