Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Surfer 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. If you’d like to pair it with some other sea themed squares, you can find more nautical squares here.
For this square I used Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash in Turquoise. I absolutely love this yarn, it’s 100% wool, machine washable AND can be tumble dried (so great for baby blankets)! The wool is also very soft, and knits up with wonderful stitch definition, which is fantastic for these squares. If blue isn’t your choice of colour, no worries, as 220 Superwash comes in an amazing 135 different shades! One ball makes 3 and a bit squares using 4.0 mm needles.
I’ve been ordering my yarn from LoveCrafts recently and I am so happy with everything I’ve brought from them! My orders have turned up superfast (especially since I live all they way down in New Zealand!) and all the yarn I’ve ordered is amazing! If you get a chance, a browse around their online store is definitely worth it

Free Dog Themed Dishcloth and Afghan Squares Knitting Patterns
This post contains some affiliate links – if you purchase a product using these links I may receive a small payment at no extra cost to you.
As the number of my free washcloth and afghan square patterns has grown, I’ve decided it’s time to start categorizing them to make various themes easier to find. I’ve put the links to all the dog themed squares on this post. This, I hope, will make it easier to find them and also maybe spark some inspiration for some doggie themed afghans! These could be great to give to a local animal shelter, if you’re feeling in the charity knitting mood.
Making these squares, I used Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash. I absolutely love this yarn, it’s 100% wool, machine washable AND can be tumble dried (so great for baby blankets)! The wool is also very soft, and knits up with wonderful stitch definition, which is fantastic for these squares. As 220 Superwash comes in an amazing 135 different shades the colour combinations are almost endless! One ball makes 3 and a bit squares using 4.0 mm needles.
Using this yarn (which is DK or light worsted weight) and 4 mm knitting needles the squares come out at approximately 22 cm square (8.66 inches) after blocking. All the squares on Daisy and Storm are the same size, so as long as you use the same yarn for each they will come out the same size (beware, different brands of yarn, even though they might say they are the same weight, are not always the same thickness as each other and so may not make squares the same size).

Free 2021 Year Dishcloth or Afghan Square Knitting Pattern
Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a 2021 Square! It’s possibly a bit early for this pattern, but I am more than ready to leave 2020 behind! What a year it has been!
