“12 Blocks for Xmas”
A new free knitting project to make a blanket in blocks.

Hi there, and welcome to my new free knitting project to make a blanket in blocks.

If you missed the introduction to this project, please visit this article to find out the details (materials, gauge and schedule).

I’ll be listing below each block for the blanket, as soon as I release it, with the link to its pattern. Just a simple way to get all the info for the “12 Blocks for Xmas” blanket organized in one place 🙂

Remember that every single block has a skill level of BEGINNER (only knits and purls), so everyone is welcome to join!!
