Block 11 Blanket MKAL 2022
Hello, my knitting friends 😊
Block 11 has the most openwork texture in the whole series and, like block 6, it presents a botanical panel (which I love).
The pattern calls for 4 increases instead of 3 before the main part, so be mindful of that!
Have a happy weekend,
Ceci
NOTE: from today to Dec 1st I’ll be running my Early Holidays Sale in all my shops (Etsy, Ravelry and ohlalana.com) with everything 25% or 50% OFF. The Etsy event has already started and it will be active on Ravelry and my website in a few hours. Just in case you’ve been waiting for a sale to grab one of my patterns 😉
PS: if you want to share your progress in social media, please use the hashtag #ohlalanaMKAL2022. That helps me a lot and I love to see photos of your knitting!

Do you want more squares?
All blocks in my Blanket MKAL 2021 have the same size (stitches and rows) than the one I’ll be sharing this year. So, if you want to make a larger blanket, those squares will be perfect!
