Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Made With Love Square! This would make a wonderful square on a handmade afghan – especially a baby blanket. Thanks to Hilary for the fantastic suggestion!
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
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). I highly recommend Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Yarn in Lavender.
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). I highly recommend Cascade 220 (Aran)
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.

I would like to share a picture of the Afghan I made using your patterns and applying the Intarsia knit technique to and multiple colors ti each square. If you are interested please advise me how to send the pictures to you.
That’s sounds awesome! Could you email it to daisyandstorm@gmail.com? Thank you 😊
I so love all your designs, it would be so great to make a Afghan or a possible blanket from them. I was wondering would it be possible for your design team to make a square of a paint brush as my niece is a artist & I would to make her an Afghan. Thank you very much
Hi Linda, I had a go at a paintbrush but couldn’t get a pattern that looked right, however I’ve made a paint pallet which just needs blocking so I’ll have that pattern up on a day or two. Thanks 😊
Gracias por compartir.Dios te bendiga por tu generosidad 🥰
Thank you 😊
Really beautiful design for a toddler’s blanket ! I absolutely love it.
