This is one of the most special projects that I’ve had the opportunity to work on! Today I’m sharing the pattern for square #14 of the Traveling Knit Afghan (here). You’ve probably heard about it on Facebook and Instagram, but if you haven’t heard about it yet, let me give you an introduction! You can see the full, free pattern for my square below (it’s a mesh stitch) or you can purchase the Etsy printable version here.

My square is a simple mesh pattern that only uses knit stitches! You’ll work some yarn overs and decreases as well. It’s one of my personal favorite knit stitches. I hope you enjoy it!

Description:

This square features a beautiful mesh stitch that’s super simple with a four row repeat. I’m excited for this square to add even more texture and dimension to the gorgeous Traveling Knit Afghan!
