I found this pattern in a magazine a few weeks back and thought I'd give it a try. I think it's more attractive than plain squares and it is dead easy to do as it's all plain knitting. The squares are achieved by knitting 3 stitches together at three intervals along the row and 2 together at each end. This is done on every second row. The squares are supposed to be made individually and sewn up later but I dislike sewing up so pick up stitches from the edge of the previous square and knit on from there. You can see there is one seam to be sewn to close up the square but I think the finished effect will be worth that little bit of sewing. It uses up small balls of yarn which I seem to accumulate in mammoth quantities. I am interested to see how it looks when it is finished.
Christmas gifts to sew today so I'd better get moving. Hope you have a nice weekend. Bye for now until next time.
I love the look of that blanket. I think it will look stunning when it is blanket sized.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, I'm really looking forward to getting it finished.

ReplyDeleteHello Meagan. It was the children that named Pepper for that reason. Kids don't miss much do they?
