Our latest creations are free knitting pattern for afghan or washcloth squares of the entire alphabet! These squares would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth, or you could put them together to spell out names or words or even add them in with some of the other squares to make an afghan or blanket (all my squares are the same size). Finished square approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
These patterns are also available in printed book format from Amazon Daisy and Storm’s Knitted Alphabet Squares for Washcloths and Afghans
Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used – with DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.
Absolutely delighted with this lovely free gift thank you
grazie molto interessante
Thank you so very much.
Thanks for the article post.Really thank you! Great.
Thanks!!
Thank you I love these x
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much! Since finding your patterns I have been able to expand my knitting skills with many new patterns but that are still easy enough for this novice knitter.
I would deeply appreciate if you could create/post squares with punctuation (!, ?, &) They would be awesome to use with your alphabet and number squares. Thanks!
Thank you so much for these patterns! They’re so well done and show so nicely in my finished work. I use the patterns for washcloths, knitting with a finer size yarn. Also knit two together for a dolly blanket for our granddaughters.
Thanks, Joanne!. And love the idea of putting two together as a doll blanket! Happy knitting 🙂
Thank you very much for these lovely free patterns! I am – very slowly – knitting the whole alphabet plus 4 hearts to make a blanket.
I would also love an ampersand , but that would make my careful calculations out. Hey ho.
Keep up the good work ! Its much appreciated.
I am SO happy with your patterns. They’re very easy to read and always turn out looking so stylish. Thank you for providing these free patterns. I am grateful.
Thanks Joanne, so happy you like them!
Amazing patterns feel so confident as they are easy for me to follow thank you so much xx
Thank you so much for these squares. I am knitting my Grandchildren a little blanket each.
to remember 2020
That’s a wonderful idea! What lucky grandchildren you have!
These are fabulous! Just a quick question from a fairly new knitter. I struggle with moss stitch, is there a way to adapt these patterns using a knit stitch border instead? Thank you!
Hi Nicola, you could garter stitch the border instead – knit every row for the first and last seven rows and knit the first and last 5 stitches of wax row. Thanks 😊
I just ordered your book on Amazon, and I’m sure it will be amazing. I am a fairly new knitter so wish me luck on making a baby blanket from your patterns for my Nephew and Niece’s upcoming birth of a little girl.
My question is: You have a pattern for a square of “2022”. The baby will be born in January 2023. Do you have a pattern for 2023? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
