BLOCK 6 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!

Happy Friday!

We’ll give a little break to the cable needle today (well, almost 😉) and introduce the Double Loop. If you’ve never encountered it in your knitting journey, you can see a step-by-step guide in the “Knitting Tutorials” section of my blog. I included the direct link in the “Abbreviations” section below. 

With this pattern we finish the first half of our project! I really hope you’re enjoying it so far.

Hugs,

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!
