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.
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.
The Blanket 02 Knitting Pattern is an advanced beginner pattern for knitting a classic textured blanket featuring a simple staggered eyelet stitch and a clean applied I-cord edging.
Worked flat in an easy-to-follow 8-row repeat, the staggered eyelets create a light, understated texture across the surface of the blanket. The finished blanket is bordered with an applied I-cord for a polished, modern edge.
The downloadable PDF includes clear written instructions, sizing and finished measurements, yarn requirements, gauge information, and technique guidance to help you complete your project.
A full tutorial for this blanket project is also available on the M1R KNIT blog and YouTube channel here: https://m1rknit.com/tutorials/blanket-02
ABOUT THE PATTERN
Blanket 02 is worked flat using an 8-row staggered eyelet stitch pattern. After the main blanket is completed and bound off, an applied I-cord is worked around the entire perimeter to create a smooth, finished edge.
The eyelet pattern uses simple yarn overs and decreases to create evenly spaced openings that shift position through the repeat, producing the subtle staggered design.

I’d love to see what you make.

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.

Happy Knitting,
