Hey friends! I’m super excited to team up with Red Heart to introduce one of their new yarns – Red Heart Hygge™!
Have you heard about the Hygge trend? Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish word meaning creating a warm, cozy atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with family and friends. Creating a warm and cozy home is the essence of farmhouse life, and as a farmhouse blogger I always try to achieve Hygge in my decor.
I don’t know what could be more Hygge than snuggling up under a knitted blanket by a warm fireplace with a cup of tea and a good book. That’s why the incredibly soft and gentle Red Heart Hygge is the perfect yarn for this knitted throw blanket pattern!

Hygge Knitted Throw Blanket Pattern
What you will need:
- Red Heart Hygge in Cloud (or the color of your choice), 7 skeins – each skein is 141 g/5 oz, 121 meters/132 yards.
- Circular Knitting Needles, size 9mm/US 13/UK 00
- Yarn needle
Gauge
8 stitches = 3 inches.
Gauge is not critical to this pattern, but throw size may vary slightly.
Finished Throw measures 48″ wide x 60″ long.
Notes
Throw is worked back and forth in rows. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
Throw
Loosely cast on 144 stitches.
Knit 4, purl 4; repeat to the end of the row.
Work all rows as above until throw is the desired length.
Bind off all stitches.
Finishing
Weave in ends.
The throw size can be easily adjusted by casting on more or less stitches in multiples of 8 and/or knitting more or less rows.
I absolutely love my finished throw blanket! It feels so soft and cozy – perfect for snuggling up on the couch with my husband to watch television in the evenings as the weeks grow colder.
I hope you enjoyed my Hygge knitted throw pattern using Red Heart Hygge yarn as much as I enjoyed making it! If you have any questions or comments about the pattern, please don’t hesitate to leave them in the comments section below!

Oh my that’s the prettiest throw I have seen! Sure wish I knew how to knit!
And I’m happy to have stumbled across your blog!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Kay! Knitting isn’t that hard to learn, especially these days with the advent of YouTube videos. It’s kinda like learning to type in the sense that it comes down to practice more than anything else.
Thanks for the pattern
You’re very welcome Kathleen! 🙂
How do you block this when done. I have had to use 6.5 mm needle so it is not too loose.
Hi Joan! I didn’t block it.
My comment is that the pattern given is great but there is another picture of a blanket and I can’t find that pattern. It is called trellis. Is that just a picture or is there an actual pattern.
Hi Susie! If you are talking about the pattern pictured here, the pattern is in the post.
What size are the yarn skeins? Thank you!!
Hi Kathy! According to the Red Hear website, each skein is 141 g/5 oz, 121 meters/132 yards.
with this size needles, what length is the cord? 29 inches? TIA.
I fell in love with this throw and ordered the yarn yesterday. I can’t wait to start knitting it.
Love this blanket. Do the edges curl in when completed or does it lay flat?
Thank you! 🙂 The edges do curl up a bit, but not too bad. You can add a border to it if you want it to lay completely flat.
If this is a horizontally striped blanket, would you not knit 4 rows, then purl 4 rows to the desired length of the blanket?
Either way will get you the same result, so could certainly do it that way if you want to. When I started the blanket my intention was to make it vertically striped so the rows would have been quite long if I did it the way you suggested, but it would still work. It just boils down to the personal preference of the knitter.
Does this yarn shed?
