UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Hi everyone! Wow, has it been a long time since I last posted a knit-along tutorial! Watch the video linked above to hear about why that is, or keep reading. But, I’m very pleased to say that I am now able to post another free knit-along pattern for our baby blanket!
But I guess you’re wondering what the big announcement is, aren’t you? I HAD MY BABY!!! He arrived 12 days early on the 12th of August and my husband, daughter and I are so in love with him. He is perfectly healthy and we are both doing well – well enough that I think I can take on posting more patterns. Yay!
Before my little boy was born, I did, unfortunately find that I could no longer keep up with video tutorials of the baby blanket squares. I was working until a week before his early arrival and I found life was too busy trying to work, get everything ready for the new baby, and make sure my daughter was getting the attention she needed in the short time she had left as an only child. For those reasons, and now with the added busyness of a newborn baby, I’ve decided to no longer post video tutorials of the knit-along patterns, BUT I will still be posting the free patterns for the blanket blocks here on my blog.
The Pattern
Without further ado, here is the PDF pattern for our fifth blanket square: Knit-along Cloud Square
ERRATA August 31, 2019: In the original PDF of this pattern, I wrote that a dark brown (colour 5) is used. However, this was meant to say medium brown (colour 4). The PDF above is correct.
Check out my post on the Intarsia heart (square 1) for some useful tips on knitting Intarsia.
Here’s a graphic of what the blanket will look like all finished so you can see where the cloud will go. As you can see, it is in the second row of squares, so you’ll be using colour 1 (cream) and colour 4 (medium brown).
