I’m knitting my boyfriend a blanket for our 1 year anniversary, which is in December. I want it to be 6ft by 4ft, but i only made it 70 stitches wide so it’s kind of narrow.
is there any possibly way i could finish the rectangle i have [which is 2ft wide], then knit another one and somehow attach/knit/sew the two together? would that look crap? i am really, really reluctant to undo the WHOLE THING and start again.
please help me!
You can do that–very often blankets are done that way to make it less bulky to have on the needles.
how would i go about doing it? is there any guide to knitting two things together? =p i’m so afraid it’ll look messy…
For two edges of an like that, the edge-to-edge seam is probably the best since it doesn’t leave a thick seam on one side.
If you want some variation, you could even make the sections different colors. I saw one really pretty afghan that had dark blue on the sides fading to light blue in the middle.
Or, for a different approach to blanket construction, check out the book Mason-Dixon Knitting.
