2016 Knit-Along Blanket Squares

For 2016, we’re going to try something a bit different for our KAL & CAL.

Every other month, we’ll have a knit 12" square and a crochet 12" square for you to make.  At the end of the year you will have 6 squares for an approximate 24" by 36" blanket, or make 2 of each square (or both the knit and crochet) and have an approximate 36" by 48" blanket.  Only have time to make 1 square, turn it into a pillow! 

Throughout the year, we’ll have workshops to help you finish your squares and blankets.

September/October - Next we are moving on to cables and I have 2 squares for you to choose from.  The first is the Banyan Tree Practice Dishcloth for a more advanced cable project, and the second is the October KAL Honeycomb pattern which is a good basic cable project to start with.

November/December - Our sixth and final square is the Entrelac Centered Square. The patterns calls for 3 different colors, but you could use only 2 colors if you wanted to.
