Where can I find a pattern for a BEGINNER's level blanket?

I have started to knit within the last year and am tired of making scarves. I would love to make a blanket that I could work on over the course of my college career. I only have basic knowledge of patterns, and every beginner pattern I find seems a little more advanced than it should be. Is there anything that's actually EASY?Where can I find a pattern for a BEGINNER's level blanket?

The above site Should have something;





however, why don't you pick your Favorite scarf pattern


and stitches and adjust it to fit.





Make squares or rectangles and join them together.


Would keep the pieces small enough to work, you could even alternate colored blocks and stitch patterns. It would be your own ';Original';.





Favorite or school colors.


Could even run stripes, alternate with two or three stitches that you like. long enough to go across full bed. Works as bedspread on twin bed or throw on queen or king.





And please, Check out the free patterns that they have in the yarn section. One just might tickle your fancy.Some of my craft books recommend the garter stitch blocks or a window pane knitted afghan.

Go to your local craft store where they sell yarn (the mom and pop shops are always better then the chain stores) and ask them for ideas. Knitting is really easy. I self taught myself all different knitting techniques over the years and recently found this great site with videos to show you how to do stuff

Good luck and dont be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone!
I love knitting ';lap'; blankets and am hooked on two very easy yet attractive patterns. They require very little thought and can easily be done while watching TV. One is a seed stitch where all you do is cast on an odd number of stitches, knit one stitch and purl the next across. Very easy and it has a nice textured look. Works up nicely with variegated yarns. The other one I like doing is a basket-weave stitch. The size of the basket-weave can be whatever you like. I prefer smaller ';blocks';. I cast on a multiple of 5 (like 150 or 200). I then alternate knit 5, purl 5 across. Every 7 rows you alternate to purl 5, knit 5, then back to knit 5, purl 5 until the blanket is the length you like.
If you know how to make scarves, why don't you join several scarves together to make a blanket? You could use the same scarf pattern over and over (same or different colors) or use different scarves to make a ';sampler'; type blanket. My first crocheted bedspread was just a bunch of different squares (all different colors and styles) edged in black and joined together.

I made an afghan that is about 5 feet or so long. Everyone loves it.


Use quality yarn that is ever so soft.


Cast on 144 stitches on circular needles size 10 1/2. (Hint, to help counteract the annoying tendency of circular needles with plastic to curl, before you cast on, soak the plastic part in hot water, then straighten with your fingers. Dry and start your project.)


Anyway, cast on 144 stitches. K first row and 2nd row. P third row and fourth row. Continue 2 knit rows, 2 purl rows until it is as big as you want it to be. Bind off.





If you want it to be wider, cast on additional stitches in multiples of 2 -- if you can stand it, that is. You can, of course cast on less stitches to make it smaller. Always be sure you have an even number of stitches.
The easiest blanket: Find the basic pattern for a diagonally-knit wash cloth. Begin according to instruction and keep going and going and going until you're half done ... then decrease as for the wash cloth.
