Introduction
The Teddy Bear Blanket is a beginner friendly blanket pattern that works up quickly using double strands of bulky weight yarn. The secret to the extra squishy texture is larger knitting needles. Using a simple 4 row repeat and only knit and purl stitches, you’ll have a squishy, snuggly, cuddly blanket in no time. Pattern is written in 5 sizes.
About the Yarn
Now I know the yarn I used was discontinued, BUT, I’ve created a list of some amazing yarns that would be great for this blanket. I used double strands of bulky weight yarn and you can substitute a single strand of super bulky weight yarn if you’d like. Here are some suggested bulky weight yarns for this project:
Lion Brand Hue + Me
Lion Brand Scarfie
Bernat Velvet
Red Heart Hygge
K + C Roving Wool
Hobbii Snowstorm
Techniques Used
One of my favorite things about this blanket is how easy it is make. If you can knit and purl, you can make this blanket! It is a lot more purl stitches than knit stitches so if you’re still newer to knitting, this is a great project to get more comfortable with purling.
