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

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!
