Blank/plain square

Plain square




Blank squares for alphabet knitting pattern - make 2

This hasn't been test knitted yet but I know people are waiting for them. I'm pretty confident the pattern is correct so I am taking the chance in posting the patterns now.

Don't forget to share your knitted squares. Post them on Instagram or Twitter using #kwirkyknits so I can take a look.

Please do me the courtesy of a pattern credit should you make an item to sell on. The pattern itself may not be sold in any part or form. 



I have used double knit yarn on UK size 3.25mm needles to keep the pattern tight, you can use 4mm if you prefer. Finished square is approx 7.5"/19cm square.

Abbreviations:  K-Knit. P-Purl. St-Stitch/s. Rep-Repeat. Moss Stitch- K1,P1 to end.

To make

Cast on 45 st


Rows 1-6. Moss stitch (k1,p1-rep to end of row)


Row 7. (K1,P1)x3,  P33,  (P1,K1)x3


Row 8 & ALL EVEN ROWS (K1,P1)x3,  K33,  (P1,K1)x3


REPEAT ROWS 7 & 8 CONTINUOUSLY ENDING ON ROW 55


Rows 56-61 Moss stitch (K1,P1-rep to end of row)

Cast/bind off. 


If you are using multiple colours I would advice using the same brand of yarn to keep the size of your squares consistent. You can use any thickness of yarn, just use the needles suggested on the ball band (or slightly smaller for a tighter pattern). Using a thinner yarn & needles will result in a smaller square. Also if you prefer, knit the border instead of using moss stitch. Just knit rows 1-6 & rows 56-61 & knit the first 6 & last 6 stitches on each row instead of K1,P1. 

Happy Knitting
