This is one of the 12 stitch patterns featured in my BEGINNER SAMPLER BLANKET (the one made during my “12 Blocks for Xmas” KAL in 2018).
You can buy the entire “12 Blocks for Xmas” pattern collection (12 different patterns with some additional features) HERE or in my Etsy Shop.
Thank you for taking the time to put all this together. I just have a really dumb question. What does KAL stand for? I’m embarrassed, but I really want to know. Thank you!!
Hi Patti. KAL stands for KnitALong, and is used when many knitters are knitting the same pattern at the same time. I didn’t know what it meant either until a few years ago! Asking is a great way to learn, so good for you 🙂 I hope you enjoy my patterns!
Love,
Cecilia
