Solid color: no color changes, the texture does all the work.
No chart: every row is written out.
Easy rhythm: every right-side row is plain knit.
Choose your size: the thicker the yarn, the bigger the blanket.
Free and complete: every row is written out below, just scroll down.

How knit and purl stitches create the motif

Knit and purl are all you need: the design is worked in garter stitch against a smooth stockinette background. One yarn, from the first row to the last.

Knitted with love by Lisa and Karen

Look how beautifully the texture shows the motif, in any color!

HitsKnits tip

Choose a light, smooth, solid color yarn. Pale shades show the texture best, while dark, fluffy or variegated yarns can hide the motif.

Teddy Blanket sizes and yarn options

Start with the size you want. Find your blanket size in the table, and the same row shows the yarn weight, needles and how much yarn you need:

Sport / DK 5 ply / 8 ply	3.75–4 mm US 5–6	22 sts × 29 rows	59 × 79 cm 23″ × 31″	≈ 300 g 700 m / 750 yd
Worsted 10 ply	4.5–5 mm US 7–8	18 sts × 24 rows	72 × 96 cm 28″ × 38″	≈ 500 g 800 m / 850 yd
Aran 10 ply	5.5 mm US 9	16 sts × 22 rows	81 × 105 cm 32″ × 41″	≈ 600 g 900 m / 1000 yd

How the Teddy blanket is made

Garter border Cast on 130 stitches and knit a neat garter stitch border.
The picture appears You knit the picture on wrong-side rows. Every right-side row is plain knit, so you get a break from counting.
Finishing Knit the top border, bind off, weave in the ends and block lightly.

The full blanket is 130 stitches x 230 rows, and every row is written out for you below.

Tips for a crisp, beautiful motif

Tick off each row as you go, or use a row counter.
Count the stitches in each block on patterned rows. One missed purl can shift the picture.
A long circular needle (80 cm or longer) holds all 130 stitches comfortably.
Block lightly at the end to even out your stitches and smooth the fabric.

Easy Teddy 2026 Blanket Free Knitting Pattern: row-by-row instructions

Each row below tells you exactly how many stitches to knit and how many to purl. The arrow shows the side of the work: → wrong-side row, ← right-side row.

RS right side

WS wrong side

(K) knit

(P) purl

For example, (K)10, (P)20, (K)10 means: knit 10 stitches, purl 20 stitches, knit 10 stitches.

Note for left-handed knitters

Left-handed knitters are always welcome!

This tip is for you if you knit mirrored, the opposite way from right-handed knitters, with your working needle in your left hand. In that case, read each row from the end to the beginning, so your design won’t come out mirrored, and your blanket will look exactly like the photo. If you knit the usual way, follow the pattern as written.

So, let’s begin! Cast on 130 stitches.

Frequently asked questions

Can a beginner knit this blanket?

Yes. You only need to cast on, knit, purl and bind off. Every row is written out, so you simply follow the numbers and count your stitches carefully.

Can I knit this pattern left-handed?

Yes! Left-handed knitters are always welcome. If you knit mirrored, with your working needle in your left hand, read each row from the end to the beginning so your design won’t come out mirrored. If you knit the usual way, follow the pattern as written.
