Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

This custom name knit blanket spells out the name Malachi in crisp white block letters on a deep purple ground. The blanket is worked sideways, so the name runs along the length in landscape orientation, one clean square letter after another. It comes from a simple two color graphghan chart, 30 stitches by 60 rows, and gives a bold personalized finish in only two shades.

The Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern keeps the layout clean. A plain purple field frames the lettering on all sides, the white letters sit centered down the middle, and nothing else competes for attention. The letters are the whole design here, so every stitch counts and the name reads sharp from right across the room.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern is worked in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks, whichever feels most comfortable for you.

What’s Inside the Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

The Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, the same chart divided into sections for easy home printing, row-by-row written instructions, color block guidance, and a printable PDF. Directional arrows on every row show which way to work, so the lettering does not come out mirrored. Always read each row from left to right and use the arrow only for the knitting direction. To save time, take time to check your gauge, as it sets the finished size of the Malachi Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern.
