I leave below the original notes for the MKAL 😊

————————————

Hello, and welcome to my Blanket MKAL 2022!

(or one of my Blanket MKALs 2022, I should say 😉 Because this year I have a blanket MKAL for beginners too, with blocks in the same size as the this one and modifications for 52SP size.)

We kick off on September 9th but, if you decide to contribute to this project you can pre-order the PDF file since today.

Your contribution to this MKAL gives you access to the following PDF files:

• Introduction, notes, materials, gauge / tension, US and Metric needle sizing and dimensions: upon purchasing this pattern.
• abbreviations + charted and written row-by-row instructions for each block: as soon as each one is released (see dates HERE) I’ll be sending a PDF file to your email address with the new pattern.

Language: ENGLISH

In the meantime you can read the details and FAQs for this year’s blanket project in my blog.

I decided to make this year’s squares the same size (stitches and rows) as the ones in my MKAL 2021, so you can have an easy way to increase the size of your blanket with more designs, in case you want to. 

Gather your materials, and get ready for some fun knitting. Please share your progress (and yarn!) in social media using the hashtag #ohlalanaMKAL2022

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Can’t wait!

PATTERN DETAILS

Your contribution to this MKAL gives you access to the following PDF files:

• Introduction, notes, materials, gauge / tension, US and Metric needle sizing and dimensions: upon purchasing this pattern.
• abbreviations + charted and written row-by-row instructions for each block: as soon as each one is released (see dates HERE) I’ll be sending a PDF file to your email address with the new pattern.

Language: ENGLISH

SIZE

If you knit them exactly as I did, each square will have 10 to 11’’ (25 to 28 cm) per side, depending on how aggressively you block them.

That will give you, for a 3 x 4 blocks blanket, the following measures:

• 30 to 33’’ (76 to 84 cm) wide.
• 40 to 44’’ (102 to 112 cm) long.

(the same size of my Blanket MKAL 2021)

MATERIALS

You can change the yarn weight and needle size to obtain different sized blocks. Send me a message if you need help.

• 1 straight needle US 6 (4 mm) for Casting on and Binding Off sts.
• 1 pair of straight needles US 4 (3.5 mm).
• FOR EACH BLOCK: approx. 130 yds (119 m) of DK (8 ply / 11 wpi) yarn. Extra yarn if you want to make a border after finishing the blanket.
• cable needle
• tapestry needle and scissors.
• OPTIONAL (but recommended): stitch markers and row counter.}
• BLOCKING materials. If you need a tutorial on how to block different yarns, you can read my post –> HERE

GAUGE

22 to 24 sts in stocking st with US 4 (3.5 mm) needles = 4” (10 cm)

 

Thanks for stopping by, and HAPPY KNITTING!!
