About

The Aggie’s Argyle Blanket is a cute, classic throw, made of a diamond motif in a three-color combo. It’s one of the prettiest designs I’ve ever made, I think! I named it after my kitty Aggie who could not keep his little paws off this blanket while I was making it.

This pattern is also beginner-friendly, with step-by-step photos for every single part of the pattern.

Sizing

The standard blanket size is 44" (112 cm) wide and 63.5" (161 cm) long; this is the size you see in photos. There are instructions for customized sizing included.

Materials

Hook: 5mm or size needed to obtain gauge

Notions:

  • Tapestry needle

  • Scissors

Yarn: Aran/worsted/size 4 weight

I used acrylics and wools like Lion Brand Pound of Love to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project; you can find good substitutes on yarnsub.com.

Always make a swatch before beginning to make sure you meet gauge (also important so your pattern isn’t too big or too small) and are happy with the fabric created!
