Introducing: Loom Knit Lofty Lace Blanket in 3 Sizes!

Inside: Loom knit Lofty Lace Blanket pattern in 3 sizes. Includes written instructions, chart and tutorial videos for right and left handed loom knitters.

The Lofty Lace Blanket is the perfect cuddling blanket. 

This easy loom knit blanket uses super bulky Bernat Blanket Yarn to give it maximum softness. It features a simple lace design with a garter stitch border.  This pattern is converted from the Lofty Lacy/Sea of Lace Blanket needle knit pattern from Yarnspirations.

The pattern contains written instructions for 3 sizes, lace chart, and links to fully-captioned tutorial videos for both right and left handed loom knitters.

NOTES 

If you want to adjust the size of the blanket, the lace stitch pattern uses a multiple of 6 +3 and each 12-row repeat adds about 2.5” (6.5 cm) to the length of the blanket.

I recommend the chain cast on for this pattern.
