Fan and feather pet blanket

I finished knitting a pet blanket this evening. It's a fan and feather pattern ... I've done this pattern many times over the years and like it.  It's 24 inches long and 20 inches wide.

I'll be donating to ElderDog Canada, which will be sold in their online shop, used directly as needed in ElderDog activities or included in special ElderDog fundraising.

I used Bernat Wool-up Bulky yarn and an 8mm circular needle.


I cast on 60  stitches (or a multiple of 18 plus 6)

Knit 3 rows of garter stitch for the border

Row 4: Knit

Row 5: K 3, P to last 3 stitches K3

Row 6: K3, *(K2 tog) 3 times, (yo, K1) 6 times, (K2 tog) 3 times, rep from * to last 3 sts K3

Row 7: Knit

Repeat Rows 4 - 7, keeping first and last 3 stitches in garter stitch, until piece measures desired length

Knit 3 more rows of garter stitch to make the bottom border

Cast off and darn in ends.
