My last Mitered square sock yarn blanket barely made a dent in my bag of sock yarn leftovers, so this year for the 2021 KAL I'm going for a different approach.
I'm sizing up.
Holding sock yarn doubled on larger needles and with more cast on stitches to make larger squares.
So far I'm really pleased with it. The fabric has a pleasing weight to it and is wonderfully cushy - if that's a word. And of course you get to play with the fabulous effects you can get with marling two colours together.
And more importantly, each square uses a fabulous 60g yarn (2 X 30g).
Hooray for big squares.
There's a link in my bio to the Comfort blanket KAL which is re-running this year, starting on Monday 13 Sep, if you'd like to join us.
Big squares are optional
