Alpha Phi Alpha 1906 Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

Black and old gold, clean and unmistakable. The Alpha Phi Alpha 1906 Finger Knit Blanket honors the Mighty Psi Chapter, with the letters Alpha Phi Alpha across the top, a bold Psi at the center for the chapter, and the founding year 1906 spelled out along the bottom. Two colors do all the work, crisp gold shapes against a deep black ground and black lettering on gold up top. It is a greek letter graphghan worked entirely from a colorwork graph chart with your hands, no needles needed.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Alpha Phi Alpha 1906 Finger Knit Blanket 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 Alpha Phi Alpha 1906 Finger Knit Blanket

The Alpha Phi Alpha 1906 Finger Knit Blanket includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, the chart divided into sections for easy home printing, row-by-row written instructions, and color block guidance, all in a printable PDF.

Directional arrows on every row show which way to work, so a row is never read in reverse and the design does not end up mirrored. Always read each row from left to right, using the arrow only for knitting direction. The cast-on row is your foundation row, so you do not count it. Before you start, take time to check your gauge, as it sets the finished size of this greek letter knit blanket.

Chart size: 34 loops x 70 rows.

Color palette used in this design (2 colors): Black and Gold.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Intermediate. Two colors and large, clear shapes, with steady color changes along the lettering and emblem.

Alpha Phi Alpha is a Divine Nine fraternity founded in 1906, and this design honors the Mighty Psi Chapter.

It suits fraternity brothers and anyone who reps black and old gold, bold greek letters with the chapter Psi and the founding year.
