Fibonacci Blanket

A simple stripy blanket in which the Fibonacci Series

The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, … The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. For a while now, I’ve been wanting to make something using the Fibonacci sequence in stripes. I’ve always liked the way it looks, but I’ve always dreaded making a blanket in some sort of solid fabric.

I was inspired by the sequence and used the numbers of the sequence to dictate my stripe pattern calculations

I knitted the sample in a bamboo/cotton yarn, which stretches enthusiastically. It’s certainly possible to substitute yarns and use a different fiber (eg. wool or acrylic).

I recommend using 32”/ 80cm circular needles, just to avoid dropping stitches, but it can all be knitted on straight needles.
