A beautifully simple blanket, designed for the pleasure of knitting.

The Essential Blanket is one of those projects you can settle into. Knitted entirely in simple garter stitch, there’s no complicated pattern to keep track of — just the gentle rhythm of knitting, row after row.

Worked in our soft and lofty Uno alpaca and merino, the simplicity of the stitch lets the beautiful yarn do the work. It’s an ideal first blanket, a lovely project if you’re returning to knitting, or simply a relaxing knit when you want something uncomplicated on your needles.

There’s something especially satisfying about watching a blanket grow beneath your hands — beginning with that first row and slowly becoming something warm, beautiful and entirely made by you.

Your kit includes

  • Uno alpaca + merino yarn in your chosen colour
  • The Essential Blanket printed knitting pattern
  • Access to our helpful video tutorials
  • An Unravelled leather label to finish your blanket
  • Optional knitting needles if you need them

You’ll also be very welcome in our Unravelled knitting community, where you can share your progress, ask questions and knit alongside us.

A favourite for beginners

The Essential has been knitted by so many members of our community, including plenty who were picking up their needles for the first time — or for the first time in many years.

“The pattern is super simple making this perfect for beginner knitters.”
— Debbie S.

“Knitting is my favourite mindfulness practice. I could easily slip into my meditation with the simplicity of the Essential Blanket.”
— Sally K.

    I just finished this beauty as a gift for my college (university of Michigan) roommate and I’m sad to say goodbye. The instructions are excellent and the yarn is gorgeous.

    My Therapy Blanket!

    I have named this Essential Blanket my Therapy Blanket because my beautiful 42 year old daughter passed away suddenly 4 months ago and I found getting back into either crocheting or easy knitting was therapeutic for me. I have loved every stitch of this thus far, and I’ve cried many tears too, however it’s been just wonderful doing this for me personally. Thank you Unravelled! 🌺

    YES PLEASE

    I am an experienced knitter and bought this kit to make for my friend. The colors remind us of our alma mater in Michigan (#GoBlue), and I decided to make it for her. I am only about six rows in, but I have to say how much I love it, and I know I will be making more of them. The yarn is gorgeous, the colors are stunning, and I know that my friend will love this. Thank you!

    Very satisfying.

    I really enjoyed knitting this blanket - a birthday present for my son. Although it’s a very simple stitch, the Uno wool gives it a lovely definition. And it’s so easy to knit. I love the bamboo knitting needles and thanks also for the video guides. I’ve got the knitting bug again and now need another project!!
