YOU ARE BUYING A *LOOP YARN* FINGER-KNITTING PATTERN, NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING YOUR OWN MATERIALS TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.

This PDF pattern includes pattern templates and row-by-row stitch instructions. For general instructions on knitting with double-stranded yarn, please see my free instruction sheet here.

The Mer-Lion Scandinavian Blanket combines traditional Norwegian sweater motifs with an unexpected centre design of a Mer-Lion. The mythical Mer-Lion (or 'merlion') is the official mascot of Singapore! Like all Alize Puffy More designs, this pattern is repeated on the back side of the blanket in inverse colours.

Thanks go to customer Natasha for suggesting the idea of of a Merlion blanket!

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS: 8 balls of Alize Puffy More yarn (5.3oz, 150g) (Image shown is the colour 6261).

SUGGESTED TOOLS: No needles required (finger knitting). Scissors. (Because the loops of this product are quite small, you may find it easier to use a crochet hook than your fingers. I use a US J10/6 mm hook).

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Approx. 39” by 42” (99 cm by 107 cm).

PLEASE NOTE: Alize Puffy More is a double-stranded yarn which is manufactured in a way to create double-sided colourwork patterns.

Currently, the only substitute for this yarn is Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ Graph It yarn, a yarn introduced in North America in 2021; which has unfortunately been discontinued (although you may still be able to find it re-sold online). This yarn comes in larger skeins, so you will need approximately 15% fewer skeins to complete this project as-is. Also, the loops are slightly taller, so your finished blanket will be 25% longer.
