LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

Bold purple, bright gold, clean white: the LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern puts the iconic interlocking LSU monogram front and centre, worked in golden yellow with a crisp white outline against a deep purple ground. Twin gold and white stripe bands run across the top and bottom, framing the logo like a game-day banner. This college knit blanket turns the classic purple-and-gold look into a chunky, huggable throw that reads instantly from across the room, a graphghan any Louisiana State University fan will recognise on sight.

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

The LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, divided into sections for easy home 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. Always read each row from left to right, using the arrow only for knitting direction. The cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. Before you start, take time to check your gauge, as it directly affects the finished size of the LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern.

Chart size: 52 stitches x 107 rows.

Color palette used in this design (3 colors): Purple, Yellow, and White.

Pattern language: English.

Skill level: Advanced Beginner. Simple stitches, but colors change several times within a row for the lettering.

Worked as a large lap blanket or throw, the LSU Finger Knit Blanket Pattern suits students, alumni, and fans who love the purple-and-gold team colors. It brings a bold college look to a dorm room, sofa, or game-day tailgate, and makes a warm handmade gift for graduations, birthdays, or any dedicated supporter.
