Shape Shifters blocks are specifically designed for the Shape Shifters club on Ravelry. Each month I will publish a new block design which can be used to make blankets of any size, throw pillow covers, placemats, scarves, and stoles.

The name Shape Shifters came about when I had the idea for a Block-a-Month club. Each square design will feature geometric shapes within the square, hence the name “Shape Shifters.”
