Toronto Maple Leafs Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

Toronto Maple Leafs Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

This Toronto Maple Leafs Finger Knit Blanket Pattern features a bold maple leaf silhouette with the team name worked directly into the centre of the design. Created in a classic two-colour palette of royal blue and white, this graphic blanket celebrates one of hockey’s most recognisable teams. The clean lines and high-contrast colourwork create a striking chunky blanket that stands out whether displayed in a living room, bedroom, game room, or fan space.

Designed specifically for jumbo plush yarn, this graphghan-style blanket combines finger knitting with colourwork techniques to create a large pixel-style image. The simple two-colour layout makes the design approachable while still delivering impressive visual impact. The finished blanket has a bold, sporty appearance and works beautifully as a handmade throw for hockey fans, sports enthusiasts, and collectors of team-inspired décor.

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

This printable PDF includes a colourwork graph with an easy-to-read 10×10 grid, row-by-row written instructions, colour block guidance, and a complete printable layout. Directional arrows are included throughout the pattern to show the correct knitting direction for every row. Always read the instructions from left to right and follow the arrows shown for each row. A gauge guide is included to help you achieve the intended blanket size. With only two colours and simple shaping, this design is suitable for knitters who are new to finger knitting colourwork.
