Quick And Free Knit Patterns For Dog Blankets

Who is ready for some feel-good knitting? I know I am, which is precisely why I’ve created this collection of 8 Quick And Free Knit Patterns For Dog Blankets For Charity.

Every project on here is going to be just right for when you want to do your part for your community, but still want to enjoy some knitting while you’re at it.

This list has a knit dog blanket for those dogs in shelters that don’t have homes (yet).

These are going to be a fun and simple way to use up your yarn stash and give some dogs some much-needed comfort while they wait for their forever homes.

There is no wrong way to go about a knit blanket for dogs in charity. You can go with bright colors in a patchwork design, enjoy playing with a variegated yarn, or even play around with patterns and graphics.

However you choose to create a soft blanket for a deserving dog out there, they will love it — and so will you!

If you are someone who loves the concept of giving up, this is also a great way to really focus on doing what is right for those dogs in your community who deserve love, too.

It’s even a wonderful way to get back into knitting if you’ve been away from it for a while.

Local charities and rescues are always looking for these sorts of donations, so don’t be afraid to get into making dog blankets for a change of pace!

If you have someone in your life that is wanting to learn how to knit, these wonderful patterns are great for learning the basics with recipients who won’t be fussy about the final effect!
