What you need to know

Learn new stitches with each square you knit, and sew them together for a stunning patchwork blanket for your home!

Made from squishy aran yarn, this striking blanket designed by LUCINDA GANDERTON is made up of 42 eye-catching squares. It’s an ideal project if you’re looking to extend your knitty
repertoire beyond simple knit and purl, to include more complex woven designs. Here we bring you the first three squares; make sure you look out for the others in coming weeks. You can
use any aran yarn for this project, just ensure it knits up to a standard tension and pick your favourite shades to make sure the colours pop!
