High Contrast, a doubleknit throw blanket

Introducing my first knitting pattern: High Contrast


It's 40" x 52" and the fabric has plenty of give to cuddle up in. The nature of doubleknitting means that this is a thick, warm blanket; it uses two pounds of yarn and is reversible. Pattern is only in English (for now) with US notations.

The black/white pattern was inspired by a visit to Vienna last summer where I saw some of Peter Kogler's art. (Way groovier than my simple design, check out stuff by him here.)





In taking photos of the finished blanket, I was fascinated by the many secondary designs you could make with the fabric by just folding it differently.




Here's the caveat: it's my very first knitting pattern. And while I have taken Edie Eckman's Craftsy class "How to Say It: Pattern Writing for Knitters" (more info here), I have not hired a tech editor or test knitter to look at the pattern.

That means: there are probably typos. There's no intricate math, but perhaps my wording is less than crystal clear or there might be some inconsistencies (despite having had friends and family proofread). If you should find a typo/inconsistency or have a general recommendation/criticism, you are strongly encouraged to email me at kateandtatum at gmail. Much thanks ahead of time!

Here's where to buy it:

Much thanks!
