LSU Blanket Finger Knitting Pattern

This chunky blanket knitting pattern is designed for plush chenille yarn and features the iconic LSU logo in bold purple, gold, and white colors, representing Louisiana State University and its proud college sports tradition. This design is especially connected to LSU Tigers football, one of the most well-known teams in American college football.

Worked in stockinette stitch using the intarsia colorwork technique, this graphghan afghan creates a bold and sporty statement, perfect for a game room, bedroom, dorm, or fan space. Suitable for teens and adults, it brings warmth, comfort, and strong team spirit to any interior.

You can knit it using the included colorwork chart, row-by-row written instructions, or easy-to-follow color blocks. The pattern is ideal for chunky plush yarn and works perfectly for finger knitting, arm knitting, or knitting with large needles, making it beginner-friendly and great for oversized cozy blankets.

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.
