Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern

Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern

Everybody knows the one who lives in the trash can and likes it that way. Oscar the Grouch pokes his shaggy-browed green face out of his can on Sesame Street, all googly eyes and a wide grumpy-happy grin, and somehow the grouchiest green monster on the block became one of the most loved muppet characters around. The Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern turns that face into a jumbo yarn graphghan, worked from a colorwork graph chart with your hands and nothing else, a finger blanket in the truest sense. Brown brows, big white eyes, a red tongue in a black mouth, all on a soft green field.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw 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. No needles needed, just your hands.

What’s Inside the Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern

The Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, divided into sections for easy printing, plus row-by-row written instructions and color block guidance. Everything arrives as a printable PDF you can work from at your own pace.

Every row of the Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern has directional arrows showing which way it runs, and you always read each row from left to right. The cast-on row is your foundation row, so you do not count it. Check your gauge before you start so the finished throw matches the size you want.

Chart size: 31 loops x 60 rows.
Color palette used in this design (5 colors): Green, Black, Brown, White, and Red.

Worked in jumbo yarn, the finished throw runs from a snug 60 x 86 cm lap size up to a big 124 x 150 cm bed-topper, depending on your yarn. The Oscar the Grouch Finger Knit Throw Pattern suits Sesame Street fans, kids’ rooms, and anyone who loves a grouchy-but-lovable character, and it makes a fun handmade gift.
