How do you make a blanket?

[Yasmeenaahx3]

Hi! I want to make a few blankets for my neices, best friend's family and my family. But I don't know how to do it. Please let me know if you know how to make blankets. Let me know at (email removed)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

There are lots of blanket patterns available on the web.
As an aside, it really isn't a good idea to post your email address in a forum. Just read the replies here for answers.

Thanks mate, but I was really just looking for a simple pattern if anyone knew. I'll just do a google search.

Cheers!

Here is a very easy FREE pattern I have used for 2 baby blankets and one large afghan:

Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket
Lion Brand® Homespun® GAUGE:

9 sts and 18 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch (knit every row) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

BLANKET
Cast on 5 stitches. Knit 1 row.
Next row Knit 3, yo, k 2.
Next row Knit 3, yo, k 3.
Next row Knit 3, yo, knit to end.
Repeat last row until there are 126 stitches on needle.
Next Decrease Row Knit 2, k2tog, yo, k2tog, k to end.
Repeat last row until there are 7 stitches on needle.
Next Decrease Row Knit 2, k2tog, k2tog, k to end.
Bind off remaining 5 stitches.
