Fleece and Harmony Mystery Blanket 2024
Join us for a year long mystery make-along and create a warm and cozy Prince Edward Island themed blanket made from Selkirk Worsted. Two blocks will be released each month during the 2024 year.
Each month will require two balls of Selkirk Worsted and the block particulars are as follows:
Yarn:
200 yards of worsted weight yarn in main color
200 yards of worsted weight yarn in contrast color
Needles:
2.75 mm, 16” circular needle
Or sizes necessary to achieve gauge.
Please be sure to knit a gauge swatch.
Gauge:
24 sts x 26 rows = 4” (10 cm) in stranded colorwork when blocked.
Finished Size: Each blanket block is 12” x 12” when washed and blocked.
Notions:
