The patterns in this CAL will also be available for purchase as a bundle. If you purchase the bundle, you will receive the PDF version of all the squares as they are released (you pay less than a dollar per pattern!).

I’d love to see your squares! Please share them on your social media with the tags @knitterknotter, #knitterknottertunisianblanketcal2022 and #knitterknotter so that I can find them.

My Notes

This square is worked flat and features Tunisian Simple Stitches and Front Post Extended Simple Stitches. Here are my notes from when I was working on my square:

  1. This is an easy block, I have some video tutorials that you can use to understand how to make this square.
  2. It is important to read the instructions carefully to understand how to read the chart.
  3. While this square is easy to make, it needs your complete attention since it is easy to mess up the pattern.

Pattern repeats and Adjustments

This pattern is a 10 stitch, 10 row repeat. It is possible to increase the size of the square by adding a border to it. The sized can be reduced by evenly removing stitches from both sides (inside the border).

Blocking

I used the stitch markers from Walnut Farm Design to keep track of my stitches and I wet blocked my square by soaking it in warm water and pinning it to my blocking mat until dry.

Yardage and Size

My square is 12″ x 12″ in size (along the edges) and used about 145 yards (130 m) of yarn and weighs 1.9 oz (53 gms).

Important notes

The copyright for each pattern is held by the designer. You may ask for additional resources and tutorials from the designer of the square only. No one else can make a full tutorial of the pattern unless permitted by the designer. I have included my notes and links to my tutorials that I think might be helpful in making the square but those do not supersede the instructions and tutorials provided by the designer.

The only way for me to be able to provide this CAL for free is to monetize my blog through ads and affiliate links.
