E square pattern

'E' square

Finally finished & here it is.. the E alphabet square pattern. I have decided to use 4 colours on my test blanket & had to decide how I want the finished blanket to look, so I have already planned all the colours for all the letters.

A cushion is the latest idea I've had for a quicker gift idea, I'd love to know what you make.
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.

'F' square coming next....

You can use any thickness of yarn, just use the needles suggested on the ball band (or slightly smaller for a tighter pattern). 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
