Arkansas Razorbacks Knit Chunky Blanket Pattern

Arkansas Razorbacks Knit Chunky Blanket Pattern

Worked on a loom or by finger knitting, this pattern features the bold razorback hog charging across the blanket in team colors. The fierce wild boar is worked in bright red with a strong black outline, its head lowered and tusks curving out to the sides, set against a clean white background and framed top and bottom by a red and black striped border. Worked as a pixel-style graphghan chart in chunky jumbo yarn, this team knit blanket turns simple colorwork into a striking, instantly recognizable hog that any Arkansas fan will know at a glance. The design is worked crosswise (sideways) at a tight, firm gauge.

Finger knitting or loom knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. You can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks, whichever feels most comfortable for you.

The Arkansas Razorbacks Knit Chunky Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, divided into sections for easy printing, row-by-row written instructions, color block guidance, and a printable PDF. Directional arrows on every row show which way to work, so you avoid reading a row in reverse and ending up with a mirrored design.

Color palette used in this design (3 colors): Red, Black, and White.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Intermediate. The stitches themselves are simple, but the hog’s detailed outline means frequent color changes across every row, and the tight gauge asks for even, consistent tension.

The finished blanket measures approximately 60″ × 48″ (152 × 122 cm), an afghan-size team knit blanket for a bed, a couch, or game-day cheering. The Arkansas Razorbacks Knit Chunky Blanket Pattern makes a bold handmade gift for a fan, a graduate, or a new home.
