Sample Patterns for the Dulaan Knitting Project

Below are a few of the many free knitting patterns that can be found on the Internet, plus two patterns for making no-sew, fringed fleece blankets. There are hundreds of other similar, free patterns on the Internet, but these should give you a place to start. These patterns were chosen because they are relatively plain and simple and can be knit quickly. Also, some of the patterns, such as the thrummed mittens, were chosen specifically because they are extra warm.
