YouTube videos with Martin Storey for every clue

Each week for the first eight weeks, Rowan released a pattern for one of the squares that Martin designed. A completed Afghan requires each square to be knitted six times, giving a total of 48 squares.

If you choose to use Martin’s recommended shades you will knit each design three times in one shade and three in another.

In week nine, Martin showed how to create the trim. In week ten were the final instructions needed for making-up the blanket to complete a truly beautiful Afghan.

The finished squares are 20cm x 20cm. The overall layout is 6 squares by 8 squares (48 in total) = approx 120cm x 160cm plus trim.

Beginner knitter? Not a problem, there are online videos to support the pattern, along with basic techniques like casting on. You can also choose to make a smaller blanket.
