Pattern Insight: Moss Stitch Blanket with Checkered Vibes
I personally adore creating small squares and bringing them together later. But hey, if you’re up for a bigger challenge, just increase the stitch count and keep the pattern going until you’re satisfied with the square size!
A little heads-up: the pattern demands a bit of focus. I typically go with 28 sts, but feel free to adjust based on your blanket vision!
Let’s Get Started:
My go-to materials:
- Yarn: Double knitting wool
- Needles: 3.5mm
Pattern Breakdown:
Cast on 28 sts. Row 1: [ws]: (p1, k1) twice. *p2 (k1, p1) 3 times. k1.* Repeat. p2, (p1, k1) twice. Row 2: (k1, p1) twice. And so on... (Keep the pattern instruction as ) ... Cast off.
You can totally mix and match! Create some squares using this moss checkered pattern and some in a plain design, then sew them up alternatingly for a fun and dynamic look!
And if you ever feel like venturing into crafting storage baskets, just know I’ve got a fab pattern waiting for you.
