BLOCK 3 of Blanket MKAL 2022

Did you just find this KAL?

Don’t worry! We periodically start our previous KALs again and share them with everyone while the KAL is live. Make sure to Join the newsletter to know when an event starts!

Hello,

I have a couple of things to tell you before you start knitting today’s block:

1) Pay attention to the instructions to prevent confusion between S2KP and SK2P. But if you do confuse them, so what? The key here is to enjoy your knitting! 

2) If you didn’t follow my MKAL 2021, you might find my blog post on “How to make Hachi Twists” useful. I show there you how to work HTs without a cable needle, saving a lot of time 😊

Happy Friday!

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!
