Begin in the center with a sequence of square shapes, then knit each block one section at a time. The fabric is knit seamlessly by picking up sts from the previous sections. The rows are easy to memorize as you enjoy customizing the blocks with colorful leftovers from your shawl and sweater projects. You can knit a fingering weight version or a DK weight version to utilize all of your collectible yarn bits. The pattern includes video links to help you cast on and weave in ends as you knit!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes markdown core_item_content__text_block core_item_content__text_block--notes\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFingering [DK]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The size is easy to customize by simply adding more color block strips as you knit your way from the center of the fabric toward the border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Finished Measurements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e 70 [80]″ \/ [203]cm long, 28 [31]″ \/ 71 [79]cm wide.

Focus on color first and allow a variety of different yarns and dye styles into your project. It’s fun to mix different types of yarns to include marled, speckled, fluffy, solid, and variegated yarns into the same palette. If you are unfamiliar with mixing different types of yarn, I recommend that you cast on the center part of the design and experiment with your yarns to make sure you select a needle size that works well with your chosen yarns. The beginning of the pattern is very small, so you can treat the cast on and first square sections like a swatch to try different yarns in your stash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Westknits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46721885569362,"sku":"SW-1350141","price":7.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0027\/6188\/3683\/files\/BlockbyBlockShlanket-19_1.jpg?v=1687530729","url":"https:\/\/www.westknits.mom\/products\/block-by-block-shlanket","provider":"Westknits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
