Blankets on Your Knitting Machine is all about helping you create beautiful, functional blankets—even if your needle bed size feels limiting. We’ll explore simple techniques like modular knitting and joining methods to tackle larger projects with confidence. I’ll also share some of Knit It Now’s favorite blanket patterns and classroom resources to inspire you. Plus, we’ll talk about knitting blankets for charity—a wonderful way to give back while doing what you love. If you’ve ever wanted to master blanket knitting on your machine, this is the perfect place to start!
