Welsh Terrier Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

Welsh Terrier Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

This dog portrait blanket puts a Welsh Terrier face front and center, worked in ivory, camel, brown and black. Two color stripe bands close the piece off at the top and the bottom. It comes from a four color graphghan chart, 30 stitches by 60 rows, and reads as a real portrait rather than a cartoon.

The Welsh Terrier Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern keeps the face big and simple. A plain ivory field surrounds the portrait, the brown and camel shading carries the ears and the muzzle, and the black is used sparingly for the eyes and the nose. Every stitch counts on a face this size, so the expression reads clearly from right across the room.

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

The Welsh Terrier Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern includes a colorwork graph chart with gridlines every 10 stitches, the same chart 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 the lettering does not come out mirrored. Always read each row from left to right and use the arrow only for the knitting direction. To save time, take time to check your gauge, as it sets the finished size of the Welsh Terrier Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern.
