Syncopation Blanket

Rhythmic surprises make great music… and great blankets, too! With its off-beat
melodies, our Syncopation Blanket hits unexpected notes within the steady flow of a six-
column repeat.

Garter stitch, with its wonderful corrugated texture, serves as a back beat to smooth slip-
stitch columns, elegant grace notes cleverly knit into the fabric of this piece.

2/10
The key here for making this design sing is crisp stitch definition. Our new Wigeon does
the job with its classic, tidy spin and palette of distinctive solid colors. One hundred
percent fine Falkland merino, it is as hardy as its birthplace but soft enough for cozy
movie nights!

Super pretty yarn for a super interesting knit… That’s music to our ears!

Materials

5/10
6/10
7 (12) balls of Purl Soho’s Wigeon, 100% fine Falkland merino. Each ball is 359
yards/ 100 grams; approximately 2,513 (4,200) total yards required. We used Warm
Ivory.
US 5 (3.75 mm), 40- or 60-inch circular needles, depending on size you are making
18 (30) stitch markers (or pieces of scrap yarn) in six colors: 3 (5) markers of each
color (see Notes)

Gauge
24 stitches and 56 rows (or 28 garter ridges) = 4 inches in garter stitch

Sizes
Crib (Throw)

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 33¾ inches wide x 43 inches long (56¼ inches wide
x 43 inches long)

NOTE: You cast on for the Crib size blanket along the short side, which orients the slip-
stitch columns vertically. For the Throw size, you cast on along the long side, which
orients the columns horizontally.

Sample: We knit the Crib size.

Notes

COLUMN REPEAT

One Column Repeat consists of 6 Slip Stitch Columns. You will work 3 (5) Column
Repeats across the blanket, giving you a total of 18 (30) Slip Stitch Columns.

STITCH MARKERS

The pattern uses stitch markers to indicate where to work each Slip Stitch Column. You
will place 3 (5) of Markers A, B, C, D, E, and F for each Column Repeat. We recommend
using six different colors of stitch markers to easily differentiate between Markers A, B, C,
D, E, and F (make a little key for yourself!). Slip markers as you come to them.

7/10
SLIP STITCH PATTERN
Row 1 (right side): Slip 1 knitwise with yarn in back (wyib), knit to end of row.

Row 2 (wrong side): Slip 1 knitwise wyib, *knit to next marker, slip 3 purlwise with yarn in
front (wyif), repeat from * to final marker, slip 3 wyif, knit to end of row.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for pattern.

NOTE: If your columns are looking flatter than you’d like, give the yarn a very slight tug
when you knit the first stitch after slipping three in Row 2. But be gentle… Too tight, and
the tension of your entire blanket may get a little wonky!
