O alphabet square

'O' square

Oh Oh Ooooo

So we have made it to the 10th letter of the alphabet & a fairly simple one to make. 

As I'm sewing the blanket together I realise how big it will be on completion. You could omit the border stitches, if you're a confident knitter, to make the whole thing smaller. Anyway on with the pattern..


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.

'P' 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). 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
