Sun Landscape Knit Square
Bring the beauty of the great outdoors to your needles with this Mountain Landscape Square Knitting Pattern! Featuring soft layered peaks in warm, earthy tones, this cozy nature-inspired design adds a sense of peace and adventure to your knitting. Perfect for rustic interiors or handmade gifts for outdoor lovers.
Worked flat with a garter stitch border framing the smooth stockinette center, this charming square is ideal for fantasy-themed blankets, magical pillows, storybook tote bags, wall panels, chair or seat covers, table decorations, bath mats, or even as a bold panel on a cozy sweater.
The pattern includes a full colorwork chart and easy row-by-row written instructions. Use intarsia, duplicate stitch, or machine knitting — and enjoy the relaxing process of stitching your very own mountain view.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
The final size of the project will depend on the yarn and needle size you choose. Here are examples for three different yarn weights:
Sport weight (5 ply) with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles:
37 × 37 cm (15″ × 15″) — approx. 120 g
DK (8 ply) or worsted weight (8 ply) with 3.75 mm - 4 mm (US 5-7) needles (sample shown): 46 × 46 cm (18″ × 18″) — approx. 140–180 g
Aran weight (10 ply) with 5.5 mm (US 9) needles:
52 × 52 cm (20″ × 20″) — approx. 250 g
MATERIALS NEEDED
I used DK weight (8 ply) yarn — 140 g of YarnArt Creative, 100% cotton, 50 g ≈ 85 m / 1.8 oz ≈ 93 yds
Knitting needles: 3.75 mm (US 5)
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
If you want to match the sample size, use DK yarn with a similar gauge. However, you’re free to use any yarn you like! This project is highly adaptable — just choose suitable needles for your yarn and enjoy the process.
