Wonky Blocks Blanket (knit)

Inspired by English paper pieced quilts, this blanket combines squares and diamonds in a playful, off-kilter grid. Knitters will enjoy the meditative garter stitch with simple increases and decreases, constructed in columns using a join-as-you-go technique. Work one up in WHATEVER SIZE you need using ANY WEIGHT OF YARN. Make yours a scrappy stash-buster or a precisely planned showpiece!

YARN

This pattern was designed to look good with any weight of yarn. If you’re worried you may not have enough of that weight in your stash, try holding multiple strands of a lighter yarn together to achieve the same weight.

COLORS

Whether you choose a small, curated palette or go wild and scrappy, your blanket is sure to dazzle! Here are few strategies I would recommend:

- Focus on one side of the color wheel

- Stock up on neutrals with maybe a pop of neon

- Take inspiration from your favorite work of art

- Use the diagram at the end of this pattern as a coloring page and have fun!
