MORSE knitting pattern
Hello,
I looked my last blocks and noticed that somehow they were getting more and more complicated. So I decided it was time for another easy pattern, but I didn’t want it to be boring!
So here’s what I came up with: a very easy block with a hidden message in Morse code. I’m sure you’ll like the repeating word 😉 Can you guess what is written in my MORSE block?
Morse code is a great way to hide little messages into your knitting. For instance, if you’re making this blanket for your significant other you could include a “please, do not snore” message in it. You can also decide when (and if!) to share the key to find it.
Another fun idea, if you have kids, is to knit several dishcloths with different messages and save them for a rainy day. I’m sure they’ll have fun deciphering the words, or discovering their names in code.
Happy knitting. And deciphering!

Remember that, in case you need more patterns to add to this project, I adapted all patterns from my “12 Blocks for Xmas” blanket to the same number of stitches and rows than the “52 Square Pickup” ones. You can find them HERE.
You just find this MKAL?
Don’t worry, you can start now! Look for more info in the following page: “52-SQUARE PICKUP: An all year round KAL”.

UPDATE February 2020
The entire pattern is below.
You can also find this pattern in my collection “52 SQUARE PICKUP: Patterns 21 to 40” HERE. As a “Beginner Stitch Patterns” mini book it could be a great resource for your future projects.
The high quality PDF file includes:
- gauge/tension info and materials
- written instructions
- charted instructions
- row-by-row CONTROL TABLE for each block: specially prepared for novice knitters, with integrated instructions for the block pattern AND edge stitches, to avoid confusion. You can use the table cells to check each row as you finish it, and there is a column for every repeat of the pattern you need to make according to the instructions. A great resource to print and check your progress as you knit.
BLOCK 30: MORSE
ABBREVIATIONS
- CO: cast on
- RS: right side
- WS: wrong side
- st: stitch
- k: knit
- p: purl
INSTRUCTIONS
– CO 43 sts with US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
| I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight. |
– With US 6 (4 mm) needles, knit 4 rows.
| Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border. |
– Continue working as follows:
4 garter sts, MORSE pattern over 35 sts, 4 garter sts until you have a total length of 8’’ (20.5 cm).
I knitted 6 times the MORSE pattern complete + rows 1) to 7) again.
– Knit 4 rows.
– Bind off with US 7 (4.5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

In case you’re wondering, each line of the pattern features the word “KNIT” written in morse code 🙂
I decoded it before seeing this message
