The next step for most beginning knitters after their first scarf is tackling a blanket... or, at least, trying to. The appeal of the knit blanket is multi-faceted: not only are you still working in a flat rectangle, so there's no need to graduate to knitting in the round quite yet, but the size of your project has increased significantly, giving you a larger canvas on which to practice fun stitches, work on your tension, or even play around with a new yarn weight. It's important to find a pattern that is quick to knit up, mindless enough to knit in front of the television or what have you, and interesting enough to grab your attention, but not so interesting that you're doubling back every few rows to fix a mistake you made. We'll go over a few options for quick and easy knitted afghan patterns that even knitters with the shortest attention span will be able to accomplish.
