Knitting a blanket with knitting needles is not an easy undertaking, it requires painstaking work and perseverance. But if you manage, you will become the owner of a unique, beautiful and very practical thing.
This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age.
Are you over 18 already?
What you need to know if you decide to knit a plaid with knitting needles?
A plaid is a beautiful thing, both from a practical and aesthetic point of view. It is always nice to lie down on damp autumn or frosty winter evenings, wrapped in a warm blanket. Especially if he is bound by his own hands or the hands of a loved one.
As an element of decor, a well-knitted plaid also looks chic. And almost every housewife sooner or later comes up with the idea of knitting it herself. A full-fledged one for yourself or a small one for your beloved daughter's doll.
Let's figure out what we need to have in order to get this beautiful and cozy item.
We will need:
- knitting needles, the diameter depends on what product we want to knit;
- high-quality strong threads;
- basic knitting skills;
- free time and patience.
Naturally, the speed of knitting depends on your skills. With a well-placed hand, everything will go relatively quickly. But for beginners, it’s better not to rush and do everything thoughtfully and carefully.
Preparing for knitting:
- We decide on the color and dimensions of the product. If you are not going to store your work in a closet and use it solely as a blanket, then you should consider how the plaid fits with the interior of the room. It is good when the work of your hands is combined in color with curtains, furniture and carpet. But do not take the color one to one. The product should not merge with the interior and lose its individuality.
- We select the material.
- We choose the scheme and method of knitting.
You can knit as a whole blanket at once, or in separate pieces - the so-called motifs. The latter option is more convenient, since you do not have to carry a huge and uncomfortable wad of thread. You just make small squares, and then connect them together in the final. There are no problems with the search for knitting patterns now.
On the Internet, it is easy to find options for a light or dark plaid, described step by step and even a description of the process in the form of a video lesson.
Before work, you should definitely pay attention to how to tie the edge. It is not necessary to do this, but a properly tied edge significantly increases the durability of the product. In addition, the strapping, if done correctly and neatly, will make the craft not only warm, but also incredibly beautiful. And the skills acquired in the process will come in handy if you decide to knit a hat.
How to knit a plaid with large knitting needles?
This summer, bedspreads made from thick yarns have become a real hit. Perhaps this is not the most practical product in everyday life, but it is definitely an excellent fashionable solution in terms of interior.
For knitting, it is best to use tops. An alternative name is combed tape.
Advantages:
- you can knit both with knitting needles and just with your hands;
- the product is soft, airy and quite light;
- raw wool adds a stylish charm.
There is truth and cons, especially painful for beginners:
- combed tape is not a finished yarn, so it breaks quite easily during work;
- untreated wool is heavily coughed up, loses its shape and breaks into fibers during knitting;
- tops products cannot be washed, and their cleaning with the help of chemistry is very problematic.
If all these factors do not suit you or you doubt your skills, then it is better to pay attention to spun wool:
- after wet-heat treatment keeps a constant shape of the product;
- practically does not tear, also does not break up into fibers and does not fluff;
- accurate handwash in slightly warm water.
There are only two cons: slight stalling during operation, and if the thing is large, then it must be cleaned strictly in dry cleaning.
For knitting, in addition to the material, you will have to look for especially thick knitting needles. It is better to search in specialized stores.
How for beginners to knit a plaid with knitting needles from squares?
For a beginner needlewoman, the knitting method from squares is the most optimal. It has the following advantages compared to knitting a whole blanket with one fabric:
- simplicity - knitting a small comfortable square is much easier than a hefty clumsy sheet;
- insurance against mistakes - if you spoil the workpiece, you can easily and calmly dissolve it or even throw it out and start over, but screwing up the whole canvas is already very unpleasant;
- mobility - knitting can be easily thrown into a purse and knitted anywhere in your spare time: even at work during a break, even at a movie show;
- flight for creativity - you can easily apply any knitting patterns for each square or different materials and not be tormented by the question of how to coordinate the scheme of the square with general scheme a blanket, but in a one-piece bedspread, you will have to adhere to strictly defined schemes from the beginning, and not a step aside.
Knitting with squares is a great way to practice your different styles, and end up with a chic knitted blanket.

The drawing is simple, but voluminous and looks great. If we take red (blue) and white yarn, we will immediately get Christmas motifs.

1. Plaid knitted with circular needles.
This is a wise choice of tool, as the canvas is large, and keeping it hanging all the time is not an exciting prospect.
1) This blue plaid is knitted with braids.
Blue braided plaid The motif of the pattern is extremely simple, 6 front loops for the braid and 6 purl loops for the path between the braids, again 6 front loops, etc.
braid pattern I like to knit braids and plaits, it turns out quickly. As here, knit 4 rows, make a braid weave, knit 4 more rows, do the weave again, you see, you have already knitted 5 centimeters. It is convenient to count, not nervous, the drawing is voluminous, the canvas is soft and beautiful.

Here, there is already something to warm your knees. This is how it looks after a couple of three days, well, someone like it, of course. Now it’s autumn and the blanket will be ready for the winter cold, but now, on rainy autumn days, you can cover your knees with your half blanket while you work. Cosy.
2) Plaids blue and beige with fringe are also knitted with circular knitting needles
That's just instead embossed braids, the pattern is selected here. This is good because both the inside and the face will have the same rights.
blue plaid 
Beige plaid Description of how to knit a blue or beige fringed plaid:
Pattern for a blue and beige fringed plaid:
Note: It has been suggested in the comments that the description of the fringed plaid has a typo in the weight of the skein. I want to explain why these sizes are indicated.
Here are the options for how to knit a plaid with knitting needles from two different types yarn. You will get such a plaid using both one yarn and another. The cunning alpaca, present in the first version, fluffs the thread. A skein of such yarn is light and voluminous, and feels like stroking a kitten. When knitting, there is a peculiarity. The thread seems to be pulled out, it is very plastic, and in finished product a little podsobiraetsya and the canvas becomes more voluminous. And in the second version, there is no yarn for the alpaca blanket, but almost 80% acrylic. Acrylic is a more organized thread, does not stretch and is not as light. Here is the secret.
The knitting magazine wants to show that you need to be creative in knitting, choose what you like, read recommendations for choosing yarn and needle numbers, but check everything on samples.
I took photos of various yarns and patterns. I can't insert a photo in a comment, so I had to do it in the article.
So, for example, for yarn with alpaca from Pekhorka, with a weight and thread length almost like in a magazine (there is more alpaca in the composition, therefore there is more fluffiness), 4mm knitting needles are recommended. But in the reviews I see both 3mm and 4.5mm.
And a photo of yarn and sample with yarn 50% wool and 50% acrylic. It was this yarn 50/50 from Alena, who raised the issue of a typo and asked what kind of knitting needles to knit. The question is in the comments at the bottom of the article.
Only the sample you linked will help you understand how much yarn and what knitting needles you will need to knit a plaid.
3) Stole, which plays the role of a blanket.
I knitted this stole a long time ago, but I never actually used it with a stole, but as a plaid, it took root with us, it’s a pity that I didn’t immediately realize to knit wider. Although the description said that this pattern would look good on a bedspread or plaid.
Even our cats are cramped to huddle on such a narrow product.
Cats on a blanket Take a closer look at this pattern, it is good because its underside is also attractive, it is mirror-like to the face, only where there is a convexity on the face, concavity on the underside.
I attached the pattern by which I knitted the stole, it is not necessary to knit corners with tassels for a plaid, so you can start knitting directly from row 53, and you need to calculate how many loops you need to cast on your plaid according to the usual pattern. Cast on 15-20 loops, knit with a pattern, close, wash, dry and count in the middle part of the sample how many loops are in a centimeter. I did just that, because I knitted not with cotton, but with semi-woolen yarn.
4) Cozy blanket with a heart.

A simple garter stitch
To make the plaid warm, it is knitted from woolen or half-woolen threads. Delicate care and attitude is important for a child. Therefore, pay attention to the indication of children's and cleaned threads. The composition should contain an admixture of acrylic, merino wool, "Baby Alpaca" with the addition of microfiber. The thread should not be prickly and stiff.

Knitting has a long tradition and today is the favorite pastime of many women. different ages. Won't go out of fashion openwork patterns, monotonous plaids and stoles.
Knit a plaid knitting needles are not for every needlewoman. The main thing is to be patient and choose the right yarn. Knitting plaids with knitting needles from inexpensive threads - a thankless task. After all, if you use the blanket for its intended purpose, then it will quickly lose its appearance, it can roll up or shed at the first wash. Therefore, we advise you to approach the choice of threads very carefully.
It is easier for someone to knit a plaid from individual motifs, because. in this case, you can knit on the way to work, at home, at a party, on the train, anywhere. If you knit the whole blanket (and we are now talking about blankets big size), then it is problematic to carry it with you in the process of knitting. But if the plaid consists of separate motifs, then the thread has to be torn off, and at the end you will have to work hard to assemble the plaid. So in both cases knitting a plaid with knitting needles has its pros and cons.
You have chosen the right threads, decided on the knitting technique, it remains to find suitable model.

But it's unusual.

Unlike jacquard in intrasia, each color is knitted from its own ball and there are no broaches. Threads cross each other wrong side work. You can read more about the intarsia technique.
