- granny squares- 1 color or 2 (colors on each half a diagonal)
- I used Canva to help me figure out color placement to extend out the quilt pattern.
- I am seaming squares using the Mattress Stitch.
- I started working on this after being inspired by NDJen04's video about her scrappy blanket- you can find that find on YouTube.
- I had the 2 color (on the diagonal) granny square memorized but totally forgot how to do those. Here's a helpful video I found that helped refresh my memory.
Brainstorming
I'd like to knit a balaclava for skiing
- Convertible Balaclava by Poppy Shop- available on Ravelry, Etsy & Poppy Shop website for $9.50 Canadian (worsted weight yarn, ribbed below nose)
- Crayon Balaclava by Mia Filisch- available on Ravelry for free. Calls for Aran weight yarn- 3 sizes. would need to gauge swatch and see if I can adjust for lighter yarn.
I'm also debating something that goes over ski helmet and maybe a fair isle fingering weight sweater for me!
Some Years Later
Love the set that matches my ski coat.
- Winter Carnival Hat by Margaret Stauffacher- Ravelry Project Page (DK fair isle) <l
