One of the lovely things about this blanket is that it’s made up of individual squares – so you get that little burst of satisfaction every time you finish one. I like to stack them into neat piles as I go; they look beautiful and it’s a great way to see your progress building.

Each square is a relaxing knit – perfect for picking up when you’ve got a few quiet minutes. Just a row or two between other things can soon add up to a finished blanket!

To knit the blanket as shown in the pattern, you’ll need two hanks of Ecru in Bluefaced Leicester DK and one hank each of Light Brown and Brown.

CONSTRUCTION
Squares knitted flat, corner to corner and joined together.

TECHNIQUES USED
Cast on, knit, increase, decrease, cast off. Optional but recommended to create the feeling of joy when joining your pieces: mattress stitch.
