Yardage Needed 600 - 1,700 yards
On the Porch is a simple, modern blanket knitting pattern. It is easy to knit using only knit and purl stitches, with instructions that are clear and beginner-friendly. Knit in one piece, this design is a popular choice for modern baby blankets and relaxed, everyday throws. The pattern is written for worsted, heavy worsted, or Aran #4 weight yarn and looks attractive in solid colors or gently variegated yarns. Suitable for a wide range of fibers, including cotton or wool.
Our most recommended easy blanket pattern for new knitters - perfect for baby blankets! Beautiful in solids, variegated, or worked in stripes.
On the Porch blanket is inspired by childhood memories of summer evenings on my grandparents’ screened porch. The simple textured stripe design reminds me of the old, painted wood floor of their porch.
This pattern is available through Ravelry In-Store, and can also be purchased directly through Ravelry: On The Porch Ravelry
DIRECTIONS FOR SIX BLANKET SIZES: Approximate sizes after blocking…
- Baby Blanket: 28” wide x 30.5” long
- Small Blanket: 30” wide x 35” long
- Medium Blanket: 33.5” wide x 38” long
- Large Throw: 38” wide x 41” long
- XL Throw: 42” wide x 47” long XXL
- Afghan: 46” wide x 50” long
Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
Any of the blanket sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 1.5” to the length of the blanket. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make blankets longer.
WORSTED OR ARAN (#4) WEIGHT YARN:
- Baby: 600 - 620 yards
- Small: 730 - 750 yards
- Medium: 880 - 900 yards
- Large: 1100 - 1150 yards
- XL: 1400 - 1450 yards
- XXL: 1600 - 1700 yards
This pattern will work well with many worsted weight yarns. For best appearance, choose a yarn with good stitch definition. Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your blanket.
The pattern may also be used with DK to Aran weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge… so buy extra yarn just in case!
GAUGE: Exact gauge is not essential!
Stockinette stitch with US size 9 needles: approximately 15 stitches & 20 rows = 4”
I used US size 9 knitting needles…but choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension. A significantly different gauge may require more yarn.
CIRCULAR NEEDLES:
Knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles. In order to accommodate the large number of stitches, long circular needles are recommended.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy / Beginner
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row-by-row knitting pattern, bind off stitches, and weave in ends. This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms. Written pattern with row-by-row instructions. Blocking of finished knitting is recommended.
