ASL I Love You Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

You know the sign before you know the words. Three fingers up, thumb out, and it says everything: I love you, no sound needed. This one is an African American girl in a navy cap throwing that ILY sign straight from American Sign Language, cool in her jeans and number 10 tee.

The ASL I Love You Finger Knit Blanket Pattern turns the moment into a jumbo-yarn graphghan, a character knit blanket worked from a colorwork graph chart with your hands and nothing else. Ivory behind her, navy and blue up top, warm camel skin, a little brick for the lips. A finger blanket that literally says love.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The ASL I Love You 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. No needles needed, just your hands.
