Hello, and welcome to my Blanket MKAL 2021! 

We kick off on September 10th but, if you decide to contribute to this project you can pre-order the PDF file since today. If you can’t, don’t worry: you can also join the knitting party.

In the meantime you can read the details and FAQs for this year’s blanket project in my blog HERE. Spoiler alert --> there’s a preview of one of the blocks too, just to give you an idea of the work ahead :wink:

PATTERN DETAILS

Your contribution to this MKAL gives you access to the following PDF files:

• Introduction, notes, materials, gauge / tension, US and Metric needle sizing and dimensions: upon purchasing this pattern.
• abbreviations + charted and written row-by-row instructions for each block: as soon as each one is released (see dates at the end).
• Teens / Adults HAT pattern: separate file, released together with Block 1.
• COWL / SCARF pattern: separate file, released together with Block 5.

Language: ENGLISH

SIZE

If you knit them exactly as I did, each square will have 10 to 11’’ (25 to 28 cm) per side, depending on how aggressively you block them.

That will give you, for a 3 x 4 blocks blanket, the following measures:

• 30 to 33’’ (76 to 84 cm) wide.
• 40 to 44’’ (102 to 112 cm) long.

MATERIALS

• 1 straight needle US 6 (4 mm) for Casting on and Binding Off sts.
• 1 pair of straight needles US 4 (3.5 mm).
• FOR EACH BLOCK: approx. 130 yds (119 m) of DK (8 ply / 11 wpi) yarn. Extra yarn if you want to make a border after finishing the blanket.
• cable needle
• tapestry needle and scissors.
• OPTIONAL (but recommended): stitch markers and row counter.}
• BLOCKING materials. If you need a tutorial on how to block different yarns, you can read my post --> HERE

GAUGE

22 to 24 sts in stocking st with US 4 (3.5 mm) needles = 4” (10 cm)
