Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs simple textured stitching techniques that make it perfect for beginners developing fundamental knitting skills.

Materials Required

The Eris Simple Blanket is worked in DK weight yarn, a medium-weight yarn that knits at a comfortable pace and creates a balanced fabric weight suitable for blankets. The pattern calls for 4.00mm (US6) fixed circular needles, which accommodate the wider fabric created across all size options. Circular needles are particularly practical for blanket projects, as they distribute the weight of the growing fabric evenly and allow for larger stitch counts without strain.
