Beginner Blanket Knitting Kit – Preorder
Ready to knit your first blanket?
This beginner-friendly blanket kit makes it easy to create a cozy throw using a relaxing basketweave stitch pattern that alternates simple knits and purls. The yarn is Major by Universal Yarns, a soft, durable acrylic with an extra-generous 328 yards per skein, so just five balls create a blanket 44" wide and 60" long.
This project was inspired by a customer whose daughter had completed the Learn to Knit Scarf Kit and was ready for a bigger project — but not quite ready to invest in a $250 wool blanket. This kit is the perfect next step: beautiful, simple, and budget-friendly.
Even better: I’ll cast on the blanket for you before shipping.
Your stitches will already be set up and marked every 14 stitches so you can easily follow the basketweave pattern.
That means you can start knitting right away — no counting required.
Finished Size:
Approximately 48" x 68"
Skill Level:
Confident beginner (knit and purl)
Your Kit Includes:
• 5 balls of Major yarn (328 yards each)
• Size 11 knitting needles

This is a preorder item, allowing you to choose your preferred color while supplies last.
If you’ve been wanting to knit a blanket but weren’t sure where to start, this kit removes the hardest part so you can simply sit down, pick up your needles, and begin.
