Up To Forty-Six Squares

We are more than half way to our 63 square blanket project - Yah! I am giving you Squares 47 - 49. If there are any questions or problems with the squares you can submit a comment at the end of this post. Enjoy.

(Square 47) Climbing Frame (another way to use cable twists)

Co 26

K3 rows

Row 1: k across row

Row 2: k7, p2, k8, p2, k7

Row 3: k6, C2B, C2F, k6, C2B, C2F, k6

Row 4: k3, p to last three sts, k3

Rep these four rows to 5 ½” (Do nine repeats of the pattern which is four rows for each repeat. On the ninth repeat only do Rows 1 – 3 so that you will knit on the wrong side across the row which will count as 1 row of knit

Finish off with K 2 more rows

Bind off, weave in ends

(Square 48) Staggered Eyelets (more practice with yarn over's to increase and knit two together for decreases)(note: variegated yarn can be used for this square)

Repeat these 8 rows for three more repeats which should be approx. 5 ½” (RS) k across row to get to wrong side row

(Square 49 ) Long and Short Stitch (knowing how to keep on track as you go back and forth from knits to purls to create a different rib affect)(note: variegated yarn can be used for this square)

(Note: This is a ribbing so it will not be 6” across but less. We will stretch this square to bring out the ribbing.)
