Latte Sofa Blanket | Pattern
The Latte Sofa Blanket is the perfect project for those who enjoy a relaxing and warm knit. It's worked flat, using garter stitch in three colors combined in wide horizontal stripes. Ideal with Idealium Family Soft , a soft, lightweight, and very pleasant-to-the-touch acrylic yarn, perfect for use at home all year round.
Materials
- DK wool (e.g.: Idealium Family Soft ) in 3 coordinated colours.
- Total weight approx.: 450–500 g (150–170 g per color).
- 4 mm straight or circular needles (according to preference).
- Wool needle and scissors.
Tissue sample
In garter stitch (all rows knit): 22 stitches × 38 rows = 10 × 10 cm .
If your sample does not match, adjust the tension manually or change the needle number.
Measurements and structure
The finished blanket measures approximately 100 x 140 cm , perfect for a sofa or bed. It's knitted from the bottom up, alternating colored stripes every 40–45 cm.
| Size | Width (cm) | Length (cm) | Approx. weight (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sofa blanket | 100 | 140 | 480 |

Step-by-step pattern
1. Cast on 220 stitches with color A.
2. Knit in garter stitch (knit all rows) for 40 cm.
3. Change to color B and continue for another 45 cm.
4. Change to color C and knit the last 55 cm.
5. Close all stitches without tightening.
Maintain even tension during color changes. For a more polished result, always guide the threads along the edge and twist them slightly when changing colors to avoid gaps.
Color combinations
- Natural: linen + beige + cocoa brown.
- Autumnal: terracotta + mustard + taupe.
- Soft: old rose + cream + pearl gray.
- Modern: medium grey + petrol blue + off-white.
Alternate stripes of different thicknesses for a more organic effect or play with gradients of the same range.
Blocking and care
- Wash the blanket with cold water (max. 30°C) and neutral soap.
- Drain gently without twisting.
- Lay it out on a flat surface (towel, mat, or protected bed) and adjust the corners to the desired measurements.
- Allow to dry completely before use.
Idealium Tip: Store your blanket folded instead of hanging it to prevent it from becoming deformed under the weight.
