Scissors

Abbreviations:

k: knit
st(s): stitch(es)
WS: wrong side
RS: right side
BO: bind off

Instructions:

This blanket is made up of squares knitted in garter stitch (knit every row) in three different colors.

Step 1: Knit the Red Squares (Make 4)

Cast on 24 stitches with Red yarn.
Knit every row until the piece measures 10 inches (25 cm). This will be a small square.
BO all stitches loosely.

Step 2: Knit the Blue Squares (Make 4)

Cast on 24 stitches with Blue yarn.
Knit every row until the piece measures 10 inches (25 cm).
BO all stitches loosely.

Step 3: Knit the Dark Teal Squares (Make 2)

Cast on 24 stitches with Dark Teal yarn.
Knit every row until the piece measures 10 inches (25 cm).
BO all stitches loosely.

Step 4: Joining the Squares

Lay out your squares in a 4x2 grid, alternating colors (e.g., Red-Blue-Red-Blue in the first row, Dark Teal-Red-Dark Teal-Red in the second row).
Using the tapestry needle and a length of the matching color yarn, whip stitch the squares together by sewing through the loops of the edges of the squares.
Continue until all squares are joined to form the blanket.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
Optional: Block your blanket by wetting it and laying it flat to dry, shaping the squares to enhance their appearance.

Variations:

Add a border by picking up stitches along the edges of the blanket and knitting a few rows in any color of your choice.
Experiment with different square sizes by changing the number of cast-on stitches.
