These blocks are knit in simple stocking stitch and decorated to help little ones learn letters and shapes. The letters and shapes are embroidered on the cube faces after knitting using Swiss darning (duplicate stitch), but if you prefer you could use intarsia and follow the charts provided. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the blocks are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round).
