Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern

The Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern is a colorwork chart with step-by-step instructions for knitting a graphghan for fans of the Detroit Lions, the NFL football team from the Motor City. The design shows a big lion in Honolulu Blue with white details on a gray background, and LIONS runs down a blue band along one side in bold white letters. You follow it loop by loop on a loom or with your fingers to knit a warm blanket for any sports fan in the One Pride family who lives for game day and tailgate season.

The Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern uses three colors, blue, white and gray, so the lion stands out boldly while the chart stays easy to follow. The lion fills most of the blanket, and the tall blue band with the white LIONS letters runs the full length beside it, giving your blanket a strong, graphic look for every football Sunday.

Loom and finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern is knitted 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 Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern

The Detroit Lions Loom Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, the same chart divided into sections for easy home printing, row-by-row written instructions, and color block guidance, all in one printable PDF. This is an Advanced Beginner project.

Directional arrows on every row show which way to knit, so the picture never ends up mirrored. Always read each row from left to right and use the arrow only for the knitting direction. The cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. Before you start, take time to check your gauge, as it directly affects the finished size of your blanket.

Chart size: 30 loops x 90 rows.
Color palette used in this design (3 colors): Blue, White, and Gray.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Advanced Beginner. Simple loops, but colors change several times within a row.
