I love quilts, but knitting one is so much simpler than sewing one! Every square in this quilt can represent a memory—use all your scraps! Or plan it ahead of time and create a lovely cohesive quilt. And this quilt requires no seaming. Let me repeat that….

No. Seaming.

Knit all of your Lace Squares on the go—no need to take the whole blanket with you! Then once you’re ready, you can pick up and knit the bound off stitches to knit your Connecting Squares.

Customize your blanket! Easily add or reduce columns and rows of squares to customize your blanket size. You’ll also find recommendations for customizing the border!

Also! Use any weight of yarn you like, though the needle and finished size of the square (and therefore how many squares you need, and yardage you will use) will vary.

Pattern includes additional recommendations for different weights of yarn with a full set of information for making this blanket with fingering weight yarn

The finished size and types of needles/notions will be comparable to the worsted weight version listed above. However, you will create 5”/12cm squares, using approx. 10g of a fingering weight yarn per square, on US 2.5 (3mm) needles. You will need twelve 100g skeins of fingering weight yarn for this size blanket. You will also need about 200 removable stitch markers, and a craft scale is highly recommended for managing your yarn usage.

This pattern works well with fingering weight advent calendars, mini skein sets, and stash busting!!

Scrappy blanket shown in pictures is made entirely from stash. Each of the lace squares was a different colorway. Connecting squares used scraps and larger stashed skeins in similar speckled colorways.
