How to Knit a Stunning Eyelet Blanket With a Beautiful Cord Edge
Hi, I’m Kim — the knitter and designer behind M1R KNIT. I teach the Norwegian knitting method through clear tutorials, modern patterns, and simple techniques designed to help you knit with more confidence and comfort.
If you’re looking for a blanket project that is relaxing to knit but still gives you a little more to do than plain stockinette, Blanket 02 is a lovely one to settle into. This modern knitted blanket combines a simple staggered eyelet stitch pattern with a clean applied I-cord edge, creating a finished blanket that feels polished without being overly complicated.
In the full video tutorial, I walk you through the entire process step by step—from checking your gauge and working the long-tail cast-on to knitting the staggered eyelet repeat, working yarn overs and K2TOG decreases, picking up stitches for the edging, turning the I-cord corners, joining the ends, and blocking your finished blanket. I knit using the Norwegian knitting method throughout the tutorial, but you can use whichever knitting style feels most comfortable in your hands.
If you like having written instructions beside you while you watch, you can purchase the Blanket 02 Knitting Pattern PDF from M1R KNIT. The pattern includes six finished sizes—from Baby Small through King—along with yarn requirements for every size, gauge, recommended needle lengths, the complete staggered eyelet stitch repeat, and detailed applied I-cord edging instructions.
Watch the full Blanket 02 knitting tutorial below, then grab the PDF pattern so you can knit along at your own pace and choose the blanket size that works best for your project.
Happy Knitting,
XO Kim
