This 3 Stitch Twist Blanket Square is part of a Knit-A-Long with my friends Marie from Underground Crafter, Pia from Stitches ‘N’ Scraps, Joanita from Creative Crochet Workshop, and 9 other knitting designers.
Every Thursday from January through November 2018, we’ll share a free 6” square pattern. Join them together to make your own Harmony Blanket!
Lion Brand has generously provided us with yarn for this Knit-A-Long, so all of the patterns will be made with Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, a medium (worsted, #4) weight 100% acrylic yarn.
3 STITCH TWIST BLANKET SQUARE KNITTING PATTERN
NOTES
This is such a fun pattern, and you will get to see the pattern shape up right away. Twisted stitches are really just a way of knitting stitches out of order to give them a unique appearance. You don’t need a cable needle or anything else to complicate things. Easy and fun, just the way we like things.
3 St Twist= 3 Stitch Twist. This tells you when it is time to perform the twist and it is worked over three stitches. When you get to 3 St Twist in the pattern instructions, knit 3rd stitch on left-hand needle, then 2nd stitch on left-hand needle, and then the first stitch on the left-hand needle, and slip all three stitches off together.
