Little Strolchi the Highland cow snuggles into his cloud-soft bed. Every now and then, he blinks up at the twinkling stars in the night sky. Suddenly, he is completely awestruck. A huge shooting star flies right overhead! Bigger than any other the little Highland cow has ever seen. "Now I mustn't move. I don't want to scare the shooting star and make it fly away!" he thinks, blinking only very carefully. Quickly, he makes his wish – for he knows that shooting stars grant wishes.
With the knitting pattern "Strolchi Makes a Wish" for a small blanket, you can now knit this adorable design yourself. Unfortunately, I won't be able to knit the project until spring, so there are no pictures of the finished blanket yet. While I took the utmost care with the design, checking every stitch several times, there may still be some errors in the pattern. You are aware of this small risk of the pattern not being absolutely perfect and accept it upon purchase. However, if you do find an error, please be sure to contact me!
Skills Required / What You'll Receive
Required skills:
Basic knitting skills (casting on and binding off stitches, knitting knit and purl stitches, edge stitches)
Note: To achieve a clean, color-separated edge, I use the Italian cast-on and Italian bind-off. The edge stitches are worked in a chain stitch. Mastering these techniques is advantageous for a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Double-face knitting technique
IMPORTANT: This guide does NOT contain technical instructions. Mastery of basic techniques or a willingness to learn them (e.g., by watching one of the many well-explained YouTube videos) is required to complete this project.
What you get:
You will receive a zip-compressed folder containing a 23-page pattern (font: Calibri, font size: 12, DIN A4) in PDF format. This knitting pattern conveniently includes row counts for each knitting row, greatly simplifying the knitting process as you don't need to count the individual stitches yourself.
In addition to the instructions, a further PDF is included, which graphically depicts the front and back of the pattern on separate A4 pages. This serves as a rough guide, if needed, to show you where you are currently knitting. A graphic knitting chart is NOT included.
The instructions are available in both German and English.
Difficulty level:
Advanced – due to the significant time commitment and the associated stamina required. The two-color Italian cast-on, in particular, is very challenging! Ambitious beginners should definitely practice on smaller projects before attempting this mammoth undertaking.
Size Information
Size may vary depending on the yarn used.
The "Strolchi Makes a Wish" blanket is directly comparable to its predecessor, "Sleeping Strolchi." I knitted the latter using 3mm circular needles (80cm). The yarn I used had a gauge of 28 stitches x 36 rows per 10 x 10 cm. With this yarn, the blanket measured approximately 76 cm wide and 97 cm long. These measurements are also applicable to the "Strolchi Makes a Wish" design
Materials List
Yarn (Depending on your yarn tension and the yarn and needle size you choose, the quantities may vary. With a yarn length of 175 m per 50 g, I need 7 balls of pure merino wool per color, 14 balls in total for a blanket.)
Circular knitting needles (at least 80 cm long)
Sewing needle
Darning needle (for casting off)
Scissors
