The 4 Squares Blanket is a simple yet beautiful design that is perfect for a baby blanket. This pattern uses Bernat Baby Coordinates Chunky yarn, a soft and warm yarn that is perfect for baby clothes. The yarn is made of a blend of acrylic and polyester, which makes it easy to care for, machine washable and dryable. The yarn also comes in a variety of colors, which allows you to choose the perfect color scheme for your blanket.

The pattern is easy to follow and creates a beautiful texture that adds depth and interest to the blanket. The design is perfect for a baby blanket, as it’s not too complicated but still adds interest to the blanket. The finished blanket is soft, warm and cozy, perfect for a baby’s delicate skin. The size of the blanket is perfect for a crib or stroller, it’s not too big or too small.

One of the great things about handmade blankets is that they are unique and personal. Each one is made with care and attention to detail, and the finished product is a reflection of the love and dedication that went into its creation. This particular pattern is a great way to create a special and thoughtful gift for a new parent or to add a touch of warmth to a baby’s room.

This pattern is free to download on the Mary Maxim website and it’s suitable for knitters of all levels. It’s a great way to create a beautiful and cozy blanket for your little one or as a gift. The 4 squares blanket design is timeless, and it can be enjoyed for many years to come. So grab your needles and yarn, and let’s get started on creating this beautiful blanket!

Knits for the Table for Thanksgiving and Beyond

As we get into the part of the year with a lot of food-forward holidays, it might be time to start thinking about knitting some new things for your table. While a few of these are more fall/Thanksgiving focused, just changing up the colors would make others work for Christmas, or keep it neutral and use them all year long. 

What got me started thinking about this was the lovely and simple Fresh Bread Dishtowel, a free pattern from Purl Soho. Worked in a lovely cotton and linen blend, the towel is mostly stockinette stitch with a bit of texture on the borders. 

You could use this same kind of pattern to make anything from placemats to a table runner, but let’s look at some specific patterns for those kinds of projects as well. 

The easy moss stitch table runner from Glass Bird Knits is beginner friendly can can easily be modified to fit your table (or, again, to make placemats instead of or in addition to a runner). This version is worked in macrame cord, but you could also use bulky yarn. 

Emielle Design has a garter stitch runner pattern that’s made with braided cotton cord for a lot of texture without a lot of work. But be sure to take a lot of breaks when knitting with cord because it can be rough on your hands!

I also love the diamond pattern on the Hamilton Table Runner from Wyndlestraw Designs. It calls for a DK weight cotton and linen blend yarn and comes in three sizes with different widths and lengths. The pattern has both written and charted instructions. 

Amy Marie’s Table Pumpkins (on Ravelry) is a fun mosaic knitting pattern that would be great to use as a table runner through the fall and for Thanksgiving. It uses a worsted weight cotton yarn in two colors, and you can make it as long as you like for your table. 

The no cable knit placemats from Yarn Culture Studio have a fun faux cable look that would be great for the table through the fall and winter. 

Or here’s another pattern from Wyndlestraw Designs, this time for an easy knit and purl stitch placemat pattern that looks different but still good on both sides. It calls for worsted weight cotton and comes in two sizes for placemats, but also has instructions for coasters, a hot pad and a table pad all using the same stitch.
