Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

Skull grinning inside a circle, split by a lightning bolt that can’t pick between red and blue. Every Deadhead knows it on sight. The Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket Pattern turns the classic Grateful Dead “Stealie” into a jumbo-yarn graphghan, worked from a colorwork graph chart with nothing but your hands. Ivory skull, black ring, a thirteen-point bolt cutting diagonally across the crown. High contrast, edges crisp, the whole emblem reading like a backstage poster stitched in chunky loops.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket 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 Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

The Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, divided into sections for easy printing, row-by-row written instructions, color block guidance, and a printable PDF. This is an intermediate design: four colors with several changes per row and small single-loop details along the skull outline and the lightning bolt.

Directional arrows in the Steal Your Face Finger Knit Blanket Pattern show which way to work each row, and you always read the chart from left to right. Start with your foundation row, and take a moment to check your gauge before you begin so the finished emblem stays centered and true to size.
