Knitalong Parts ( 12 )

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square One: Double Moss Stitch

    In this mystery knitalong from designer Rosie Fletcher you’re guaranteed a treat every week. Join Rosie in our video hub, where piece by piece, she’ll reveal a collection of 12 patchwork squares that are sewn together in part 12 to create the beautiful Bees and Blooms blanket. There’s lots of different design elements to enjoy, and with Rosie's helpful video guides, even absolute beginners…

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Two: Slipped Stitches

    It’s time for the second part of our Bees and Blooms Mystery Blanket, and we hope you can’t wait to cast on. This time you’re going to use slipped stitches to create a textured square with a woven effect. The finished pattern looks similar to linen stitch, but is quicker and easier to make. Click here to watch Rosie's helpful video tutorial and see how simple it is!

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Three: Broken Rib Stitch

    How did you get on with the first two parts of our Mystery Knitalong? Hopefully by now you’re ready for a new square, and this week we’re bringing you a textured broken rib stitch. This simple two-row repeat design is easy to memorise and knits up quickly. Watch Rosie's video demonstration and learn how to knit broken rib.

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Four: Duplicate Stitch

    So far the squares of our Mystery Blanket have been all about texture – but this time we’re adding a little colour, instead. After knitting the basic square, you’ll use duplicate stitch to mimic complex-looking colourwork, without the effort – so this is another square that newer knitters can master in no time. Watch Rosie’s video guide to help you learn this essential technique

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Five: Bubble Stitch

    We can’t believe we’re almost halfway through our Mystery Blanket already! In this fun fifth square you’ll be working a textured 3D effect known as bubble stitch. This pattern may sound complicated at first, but with a little care and attention we’re sure that even absolute beginners will be completing their squares in no time. Let Rosie show you how easy it can be by watching her video tutorial

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Six: Diagonal Purl Stitch

    We’re now halfway through our mystery blanket and in this sixth instalment you’ll be adding a repeated purl pattern. This creates eye-catching diagonal lines that not only look good, but keeps the square from rolling in on itself, too. Rosie demonstrates this textured technique in the video hub which is much easier than it looks – head over now to see how it’s done!

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Seven: Pink Blossom Square

    We’re going back to colourwork now with the latest part of our Mystery Blanket, things are really starting to come together! This time, designer Rosie has used a clever long stitch technique to create a repeated floral bloom design. It’s the perfect introduction to colourwork for anyone who hasn’t tried it before – let’s get started! Watch Rosie's video tutorial to see exactly how to do…

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Eight: Horizontal Stocking Stitch Stripe

    With so many different stitches to choose from, sometimes it’s nice to just keep things simple. That’s why this week we decided to work a square of easy stocking stitch stripes. As with all our blanket squares, this one features a garter stitch border on all four edges, which helps to stop the shape from shrinking up too much. Watch Rosie's helpful video guide if you're not sure how to do it

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Nine: Simple Lace

    Lace knitting often sounds daunting to newer knitters but it doesn’t have to be complicated, as this gorgeous stitch pattern proves. In this week’s blanket square Rosie demonstrates a simple repeat design to create a lacework effect reminiscent of flowers – it’s the perfect way to practise the technique without committing to a larger make. Watch Rosie's video demonstration to see how simple it is

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Ten: Honeycomb Cable Stitch

    Cabling is another of those techniques that always seems impossible until you actually give it a go. With just a few stitches per cable and eight rows per repeat, Rosie’s simple honeycomb design is the ideal way to learn how to cable on a small scale without the worry of ruining a larger make with a mistake. Grab your needles and let’s cast on! Watch Rosie's video tutorial to see how simple it…

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Eleven: Striped Stocking Stitch

    We can’t believe that it’s almost time to complete our beautiful mystery blanket – just two more squares to go! This week you’ll be adding some simple colourwork, with stripes of vibrant green on a plain cream background, all in easy stocking stitch. Changing colours is super easy, as Rosie demonstrates in her video tutorial, make sure you check it out if you need a helping hand.

  • The Mystery Blanket Challenge Square Twelve: Honeycomb Slipped Stitch

    We’ve reached the end of our fun Mystery Blanket Knitalong and we’re topping things off this week with a beautiful pattern that combines several of the techniques you’ve used so far. By combining slipped stitches with two-shade colourwork, this pattern creates a bee-autiful textured honeycomb design from simple stripes. Click here to watch Rosie's video demonstration of this final square in…
