Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern

Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern

Anybody who has run hounds knows the sound before they know the scene: a dog gone still under a bare tree, nose up, telling the whole woods the chase is over. That is the whole story here, caught in two colors. The Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern puts a lean black coonhound up on its back legs against the trunk, head thrown back and baying, while the raccoon it treed watches down from the branches. It is a night hunt worked as a graphghan, a bold black silhouette on soft ivory, big enough to throw over a couch or the foot of a bed.

Loom knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Hunting Dog Loom 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 Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern

The Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, the chart divided into sections for easy home printing, full row-by-row written instructions, and an easy-to-follow color block version, all in 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. Always read each row from left to right, using the arrow only for direction, and remember the cast-on row is your foundation row, so you do not count it. Take a moment to check your gauge before you start, as it decides the finished size of your blanket.

Chart size: 40 stitches x 110 rows.

Color palette used in this design (2 colors): Ivory and Black.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Advanced Beginner. Simple stitches, but colors change several times within a row as the dog, the tree, and the raccoon take shape.

The finished blanket is a generous throw at 146 x 200 cm (57 x 79 in), a real statement piece for a hunting cabin, a lodge, a man cave, or a rustic living room. The Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern makes a heartfelt handmade gift for a coon hunter, a houndsman, or a hunting dad who would recognise that treeing pose in a heartbeat.

This design is made for a tight, firm gauge, so work to the gauge above and your blanket comes out the right size with the picture nice and crisp. Your finished size still depends on your own tension and whether you loom knit or finger knit, so a quick gauge check before you start saves a lot of surprises later. Tighter stitches make a smaller blanket.

The Hunting Dog Loom Knit Blanket Pattern works up quickly with jumbo yarn, making it a satisfying loom knitting project. Because jumbo chenille knits up fast, it makes a practical choice as a handmade gift, you can complete a full throw in a single sitting. The finished chunky throw is extra warm and heavy, and suits coon hunters, houndsmen, and anyone who loves bold silhouette colorwork designs.
