This stylish knitting pattern is designed for chunky or jumbo yarn and is perfect for creating a soft, cozy blanket inspired by the iconic Betty Boop, a true symbol of the 1930s. Known for her jazz spirit, playful charm, and unforgettable “boop-oop-a-doop,” this retro cartoon flapper girl brings a touch of vintage glamour and timeless character to your handmade project.

Worked in stockinette stitch, this eye-catching blanket adds a bold and nostalgic accent to any space, whether it’s a living room, bedroom, or creative studio. Suitable for both adults and kids, it combines comfort with a classic retro aesthetic, capturing the fun, expressive energy of early animation and jazz-age style.

You can knit it using the included colorwork chart, row-by-row written instructions, or easy-to-follow color blocks, making it accessible for beginners and perfect for cozy finger knitting. This design is ideal for fans of vintage cartoons, jazz culture, and retro-inspired decor who want to create a unique and playful statement piece.

The final size of your blanket will depend on the yarn and needle size, loom, or finger knitting technique you choose, and may vary depending on your knitting tension. Tighter stitches will result in a shorter blanket. Below are approximate sizes for some yarn options.
