52 Square Pickup: Pattern collection with only knits and purls
I designed each square during my 2019 52 Square Pickup KAL. Some of the patterns have variations, so you’ll end up with a total of 58 different patterns!
Of course, in addition to using them as dishcloths / washcloths, they’re perfect blocks to make 1 huge blanket. Or many small blankets! You can also adapt them to make shawls, scarves… The possibilities are endless :) PLEASE contact me at any time if you need help to adapt a pattern. I’ll be happy to help
Language: ENGLISH
Skill level: Beginner (only knits and purls!) // Techniques used: knit, purl, casting on and binding off stitches // US and Metric sizing and dimensions
All the blocks share the same characteristics:
the same number of sts (43 sts)
the same number of rows (63 rows)
all require a skill level of BEGINNER (only use knits and purls!)
PATTERN DETAILS (117 pages)
The high quality PDF file includes:
US and Metric needle sizing and dimensions.
abbreviations
charted and written row-by-row instructions for each block
control tables, specially designed for novice knitters. Each table has integrated row-by-row instructions of edge and pattern sts to avoid confusion, and boxes you can check as you finish each row
the pattern also includes a useful table with all standard blanket sizes
MATERIALS You can change the yarn weight and needle size to obtain different sized blocks. Send me a message if you need help.
1 straight needle US 7 (4.5 mm) for Casting on and Binding Off sts.
1 pair of straight needles US 6 (4 mm).
For EACH BLOCK: approx. 70 yds (64 m) of DK yarn (8 ply). OR 140 yds (128 m) of light fingering yarn (approx 3 ply) USED DOUBLE.
Tapestry needle to weave in yarn ends and scissors.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS FOR EACH SQUARE Length / Width: approx. 8.75’’ (22 cm). Of course, this will vary if your tension is different than mine or if you decide to knit them with another yarn weight and needle size.
You can easily modify the measures by adding more repeats of the pattern.
If you have any doubt or need help, leave me a message in the comments box of my blog or here in Ravelry. I will reply ASAP.
HAPPY KNITTING!!
