This beautiful Afghan is knitted as separate squares, then joined when you have reached the size required. Knitting in this way is so convenient - you can knit as many squares as you wish, also take your knitting with you when you are on the go! It’s up to you!
I have knitted my sample using undyed organic Aran weight wool, which I discovered in a farmers’ market. Choose any yarn composition, colour and weight you love! You don’t need to follow a particular gauge. Your size of blanket depends on your knitting tension, chosen yarn weight, size of needles and number of knitted squares.
Drops Alaska is very similar yarn to the yarn I used.
