Block 1 of 12 of the Celebration Blanket by Ewe Ewe Yarns

Designed by Marsha Wenskay for Ewe Ewe Yarns

When I first met Heather she barely knew how to knit – I think she even knit her stitches backwards! In Block 1 of the Ewe Ewe Celebration Blanket, I used a flying geese stitch pattern to mimic Heather’s growth as a knitter. She started as a baby bird and just keeps flying up and up and up!

Finished size: 14” x 14” (35.5 x 35.5 cm) after light blocking

Yarn: Ewe Ewe Yarns, Wooly Worsted, 95 yards per 50g skein, 100% merino wool superwash yarn, #4 worsted weight
* Color A - 2 skeins (85 Lavender)

Needles: US 8 (5 mm) knitting needles

Supplies: 2 stitch markers, 1 locking stitch marker (optional), tapestry needle, row counter (optional)

Gauge: 16 sts to 4” (10 cm) in garter stitch worked flat, after blocking.
