Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Truck Square!
This square would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth , or you could put it together with some of the other squares to make an afghan.
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)
With Worsted Weight yarn and and 4.5 mm knitting needles (US size 7, UK size 7) finished square is approximately 26 cm x 26 cm (10 inches x 10 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.

This truck pattern came out cool. 😃
Thanks 😊
Loving all these patterns and have made so many of them and I was wondering if you could add a snail pattern to your list please.
Thanks Izzy, I will add snail to my list – it’s quite long at the moment so might be a few weeks
I just love these. Any chance of a bus please? I knit these at night to help ease my arthritis.I then make them into personalised blankets. So much easier for me to join together , and less stitches at a time.
Keep up the good work
Thanks, Lyn 😊 I will add bus to my list to make – it will be a few weeks though as my list is very long at the moment. Thanks again, Heather
I came across your patterns by chance and I am a very very beginner knitter and love to make squares etc and sew them in to blankets. I have started the oak tree and done the heart they came out fabulously – this latest transport lot will be for my great nephew he just loves cars and snuglly blankets so a win win. Thank you so much for all these lovely patterns. xx
Thanks Jacqueline, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the patterns 🙂
