This pattern was created for a special knit-a-long in 2020 .

I’ve designed lots of different squares with an even mix of colourful Fair Isle squares and plain coloured, textured stitch squares. These 20 squares will all be joined together to form your blanket.

Knitters will be able to knit the blanket as I have done, or pick and choose which of the squares they like or feel confident to knit. Maybe you never tried cable knitting and want to give it a go? you could just knit all the squares that use cable stitches and do each one several times.

Because certain techniques might be unfamiliar to some people there are videos to accompany each pattern where I talk you through each step to achieving your finished blanket. This means that even very inexperienced knitters can complete this project.

You will need the following quantities of yarn in West Yorkshire Spinners ColourLab or equivalent DK
