To create a patchwork blanket, you don't need to learn to sew, just know how to knit. Knitting a square is as easy as cutting it out of fabric. There are three ways to knit squares with knitting needles. The most interesting of them is knitting a square from a corner.
It is necessary
A pair of knitting needles, yarn, knitting marker or safety pin
Instructions
Step 1
Cast on an odd number of loops. For the sample, we collect 41 loops. It is necessary to mark the corner of the future square, for this we set a marker (or pin a pin) on 21 loops. We count the dialed loops for the first row. The second row and all even rows must be knitted with purl loops.
Step 2
We knit the third row as follows: 19 knit loops. Next, we knit 20, 21 and 22 loops together (that is, you need to knit three loops together). Decreases (three loops are knitted together) are made only in one place and only in odd rows (in 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc.).
Step 3
We knit the fourth row with purl loops (38 loops). In even rows, no subtraction is made.
Step 4
Fifth row: knit 18. Knit loops number 19, 20, 21 together. Due to the three loops knitted together, the corner of the square is formed. We knit the sixth row with purl. In the seventh row of loops 18, 19, 20 we knit together. Purl eighth row.
Step 5
We continue to knit until there are three loops on the knitting needle. These three loops need to be knit together. It turns out a square.
Step 6
To form the second square, you need to cast on 20 loops from the side of the first square. The first loop is the loop that remains from the first square (that is, you need to dial 19 loops from the side of the square). We collect an additional 21 loops (a total of 41 loops on the spoke).
Step 7
Mark 21 stitches with a marker, knit one purl row. We repeat step 1-5.
Step 8
There are three loops left on the needle, we knit them together.
Step 9
Cast on the stitches from the side of the square again and an additional 21 stitches (41 stitches in total). We repeat step 1-5.
Step 10
We continue to knit a row of squares to the desired length of the canvas.
Step 11
The second row of squares is knitted differently. You must first dial 21 loops (given that one loop remains from the square in the first row, we collect 20 additional loops on the knitting needle), and then we collect loops from the side of the square in the first row (it turns out that we dial them in the second row, with purl loops) …
Step 12
Decreases are made in odd rows; to form a square, you need to repeat steps 1-5.
Step 13
For the second square, we collect loops from the side loops of the squares in the first and second rows (41 loops).
Step 14
The resulting canvas must be steamed or stretched, because the squares are voluminous, the edge is twisted.
