Attic Windows Square Knitting Pattern
You are going to have so much fun knitting up this Attic Windows Square. We are creating four individual “windows” by knitting mitered squares then stitching them together into one block.
For quilt lovers, this might be a familiar design to you. We are creating this colorwork knitting block with three different yarn colors.
This pattern easily lays flat and is the third block of the Quilt Block Sampler Blanket. Make sure to check out the Log Cabin, Flying Geese, and Pinwheel Blocks, too.
