Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

There is a certain pride that belongs to autumn, and for years it wore burgundy and gold. The Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern sets down that old NFL football emblem row by row: the profile of a Native American warrior, feathered and dignified, framed within a white circle and a ring of gold, with REDSKINS lettered below in clean white capitals. It is the mark the Washington, D.C. club carried for decades, long before the name gave way to the Washington Commanders. Here it returns as a jumbo yarn graphghan, worked from a colorwork graph chart by the hands alone, honest and unhurried, its deep red field steady beneath every loop.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Redskins 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 Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

The Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern includes a full 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 you never read a row in reverse and end up with a mirrored design. Always read each row from left to right, using the arrow only for the knitting direction. Take a moment to check your gauge before you begin the Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern, since it decides the finished size of your blanket.

Chart size: 35 loops x 70 rows.
Color palette used in this design (5 colors): Red, White, Black, Gold, and Brown.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Intermediate. Simple loops, but colors change several times within a row, with small details in the warrior’s face, the feathers, and the REDSKINS lettering.

Depending on the yarn you pick, the finished piece runs from a 70 x 100 cm lap throw to a 140 x 175 cm bed-covering blanket, so you can size it to a chair, a couch, or a fan’s bed. The Redskins Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern suits football fans, tailgate hosts, and anyone who grew up on burgundy-and-gold Sundays, and it makes a standout handmade gift for a game-day birthday or a housewarming.
