A knitted blanket as a personal gift: Making a large family throw blanket

At Relooped, it's not just about products; what we make is a canvas for your creativity. Take the Relooped throw blanket, for example. It's a great canvas for your little ones to draw a cozy knitted blanket for the couch or as a blanket for the bed. Or let your own imagination run wild and design your own unique throw blanket.

Heartwarming gifts

We've noticed that our Relooped throws are perfect for heartwarming gift ideas. For example, think of a knitted blanket as a gift from students to their teacher. We even made a throw with a whopping 100 children's drawings, each made by 100 little artists. A perfect and personal gift that will make the teacher smile and reminisce. Another wonderful idea is a large family blanket, where each family member creates a design for the blanket together, each contributing a part of the drawing. Imagine a warm gift, perfect for grandma's birthday! Or create your own family throw with your little ones, a great family keepsake forever.

Get creative with A3 paper: Create a large drawing template for your knitted blanket

To make such a family throw, using a larger drawing template is the perfect solution. And here's our handy tip! You don't even need a printer. All you need are three large sheets of A3-sized paper. Stick them together along the long sides, and voilà, you have a super-sized drawing template for a blanket! This canvas is the perfect size for all the creative minds in your family to draw on at the same time. Or, if it's more convenient, everyone can make their own drawing on white paper and stick it on the large template later. An important note! If the drawings are made in pencil, trace them with a fineliner or marker with a minimum thickness of 1 mm. This ensures that the lines are solid and ensures a good result when knitting. To take a good photo of your large drawing template, lay it on the floor and take a photo directly from above, in daylight and without shadows.
