Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern

The Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern is a colorwork chart with step-by-step instructions for knitting a graphghan of the basketball legend Michael Jeffrey Jordan, known to every basketball fan as MJ. The design shows the NBA GOAT in his Chicago Bulls number 23 jersey, shooting a basketball with both hands raised high and a black wristband on one arm, on an ivory background inside an orange frame. You follow the chart loop by loop on a loom or with your fingers to knit a warm blanket for anyone who grew up watching his games.

With five colors and a 35 loop wide chart, the Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern keeps the pose, the ball and the big 23 crisp and easy to follow. Knit in chunky, plush chenille, your blanket becomes a bold graphic afghan that you can proudly say you made yourself.

Loom and finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern is knitted 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 Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern

The Michael Jordan Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, the chart divided into sections for easy printing, row-by-row written instructions, and color blocks that show every color change at a glance. Everything comes as one printable PDF. Skill level: Intermediate.

Directional arrows show which way to knit each row: → means left to right, ← means right to left, so the design never comes out mirrored. Always read each row from left to right and use the arrow only for knitting direction. The cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. Row 1 is knit from right to left, so if you prefer to start from the left, add one extra plain Orange row first. Before you start, check your gauge, as it shapes the finished size of your blanket.

Chart size: 35 loops x 85 rows.
Color palette used in this design (5 colors): Ivory, Orange, Brown, Tan, and Black.

Pattern language: English.
