Quilt Block Sampler Blanket Knitting Pattern
This Quilt Block Sampler blanket knitting pattern is beautifully constructed, cozy, and colorful. This is a fun, creative project to learn new knitting skills.
My close-up video tutorials demonstrate all the knitting tips and techniques to help you fully understand each blanket section.
BERNAT STITCH ALONG: This blanket was created while I hosted Yarnspiration’s Bernat Stitch Along, which revealed new clues over the course of six weeks. Each Clue includes a new video and a link to download a printable knitting pattern.
We are creating four colorwork knitting blocks with different yarn colors. It’s very graphic, geometrical, and those of you that are quilt lovers, these are likely a familiar designs. You may chose to also knit each block or repeat your favorites. The blanket is then finished with both inner and outer blanket borders.
