Knitted Patchwork Baby Quilt
(edited w/ corrections)
I've only finished 2 squares. But it will be a cute and fun and easy project for me.
Here's my pattern for one square:
Size 10 needles, Cotton yarn (I'm using
Brown Sheep Co. Cotton Fleece 80% Cotton, 20% Wool, Nice and Soft!)
Cast on 34 Stitches
Garter Stitch for 2 rows
R3: K2, *K1, yo, Slip next st, yo, Repeat * till 2 stitches remain, K2
R4: K2, *K1, yo, Slip next st, yo, Repeat * till 2 stitches remain, K2
Repeat until piece meaures 5 1/2"
Garter Stitch for 2 rows
Bind off
Finished Square should measure 6" X 6"
The K2 at the beginning and end of each pattern row end up as a garter stitch border
The K1, yo, Sl next st. end up as the double stitch part. It should look like double layer of knitting w/ knit showing on both sides.(You can pull apart the two sides w/ a space in the middle) It's hard to explain until you actually try it.
I'm doing this in random bright colors, when I have enough squares, I'm gonna figure out how to join them. Probably just sew by hand and then crochet a lace border.
Pictures on my progress will follow.
