This blanket shows the result of my Beginner Blanket MKAL 2018 “12 BLOCKS for CHRISTMAS”.
Includes 12 different stitch designs, all with a skill level of beginner.
Of course, in addition to using them as blocks for the blanket, they are also great patterns to use as dishcloths / washcloths!
PLEASE NOTE that this blanket is the same I shared during my “12 Blocks for Xmas” KAL in 2018. Although this is a revised version with some extra features, each individual block pattern can be found in my blog for FREE.
Language: ENGLISH
All the blocks share the same characteristics:
– have the same number of sts – have the same number of rows – they’re knitted with the same needle size – require a skill level of BEGINNER (only use knits and purls!)
PATTERN DETAILS 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 – notes about joining the blocks
SIZE Each block is approximately 10” x 10” (25 cm x 25 cm) in size. So, if you only knit 1 of each it will be possible for you to assemble a Stroller / Baby size blanket. And, if you want to produce a larger blanket, you can choose your favorite patterns and knit more than one of them. The pattern includes a table with the sizes of standard blanket to help you plan your blanket.
MATERIALS You can change the yarn weight and needle size to obtain different sized blocks. Send me a message if you need help.
