15 Simple and Quick Blanket Patterns for the Homeless

Hey, everyone! Are you in the mood for a feel-good activity? Do you want an excuse to work on something big and captivating for your next project? I definitely am feeling that urge, so that’s why I’ve put together this list of 15 Quick Blankets For Homeless You Can Knit.

Every blanket pattern that you see below is going to be a simple pattern that helps you create something with love in every stitch.

There is something so special about using your yarn and know-how to make something for homeless shelters and other charities.

And, if you have the urge to make something like this but have no one to give it to, this collection can show you that making things for strangers is not only good but a great activity.

There are many ways to create a knitted charity blanket, which is perfect. You can design one with large chunky yarn.

This is great if you have a fun variegated yarn that you just can’t find a use for. This would look great with a border or on its own.

You can also design one with fun cabling. This is perfect for adding sophistication and timelessness.

There are also similar designs that create subtle, classic textures in different shapes, depths, and styles. These look great in solid yarn but will also work well in variegated colors or even multiple colors!

If you have a lot of yarn that you just can’t find a use for, or you want to make your yarn work for you, a knitted blanket for homeless people is perfect!

You can make this in whatever size you want; it can be heavy, light, large-weight yarn, or small-weight yarn.

The color choice is all about what you like most in a blanket, and it’s all about creating something that someone else will love.
