Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid Knit Blanket Pattern

Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid Knit Blanket Pattern

Black and old gold, the colors every Alpha man knows on sight. The Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid Knit Blanket Pattern lays out the full design, the Alpha Phi Alpha letters across the top, two pyramids standing side by side in the center, and the founding year 1906 along the bottom, all worked in bold black and old gold. This is a printable colorwork pattern, a Divine Nine graphghan you build loop by loop straight from a graph chart, finger knitted with your hands and nothing else.

Pyramids carry a nod to ancient Egyptian heritage long tied to the fraternity. Like the pyramids and pharaohs of Egypt, the two pyramids at the center stand for permanence, strength, and building on a solid foundation, a look of timeless, monumental style worked in bold black and old gold.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid 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.

What’s Inside the Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid Knit Blanket Pattern

The Alpha Phi Alpha Pyramid Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, divided into sections that print on standard A4 pages, plus row-by-row written instructions and color block guidance. Everything arrives as a printable PDF you can work from on paper or screen, so you always know exactly which color comes next.

Check your gauge before you start, since your tension decides the final size.
