Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for an Ankylosaurus Dinosaur 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. Keeping with the dinosaur theme, there is a brachiosaurus pattern here, a stegosaurus here, a triceratops pattern here, a velociraptor pattern here, a plesiosaur square here, pterodactyl square here, parasaurolophus square here, iguanadon square here and a T Rex pattern here.
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.
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.

Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Sagittarius Star Sign Square! This is the second square in my new Zodiac collection (and happens to be my star sign – go Sagittarius!)- to see other squares and read more about the afghan, please click here. Of course, you can use this square on its own as a washcloth, or put it together with any of my other squares to make an afghan.
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.
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.

Cast off, weave in ends and block (unless you are making The Zodiac afghan. If you are making the afghan, do not cast off, you will continue on from here for the next square).
I have had many requests for zodiac/star sign squares, and zodiac themed items are immensely popular at the moment, so I’ve designed an afghan with all the signs. Of course, the squares can be knitted individually as washcloths too, or incorporated into an afghan of your choosing. For the Zodiac Afghan shown, there are 16 of the regular sized squares – one of each of the star signs and one for each of the elements those star signs are connected to, and one large “The Zodiac” square.
With 4 mm knitting needles and DK (light worsted weight) yarn, the final measurements (after blocking) are 94 cm wide and 100 cm tall.
I’ve knitted the blanket in four vertical strips (e.g. the ‘Fire’ square and the three fire star signs) with the horizontal borders between each square in the strip being shared.
When using 4 mm knitting needles, each vertical strip requires approximately 210 m of dk yarn and the larger ‘The Zodiac’ square requires approximately 250 m of DK yarn.
I used Cascade 220 Superwash (lovely and soft, pure wool and machine washable and dryable!). Colours used were Fire signs – Pumpkin, Earth signs – Pistachio Green, Water signs – Blue, Air signs – Yellow and for The Zodiac rectangle – Iris.
For The Zodiac rectangle I need two balls of Cascade 220 Superwash, but for most of the long strips I only needed one ball, except for the blue which I needed just a tiny bit more for – I’d recommend ordering 2 for each to be sure you have enough, or using slightly smaller needles (3.75 mm) if you want to be sure to only need one ball for each strip.
For each square, I cast on two extra stitches not included in the pattern, forming one extra stitch at the end of each row. By having two extra stitches and always slipping the first stitch p wise, following the pattern, and then knitting the last stitch of the row, it leaves a nice, neat edge along the edges of the afghan and makes sewing together much easier. These two stitches are not included in the written pattern or chart. You are welcome to choose whether to do these extra two stitches or not.
Each week I will release two squares, starting with the Fire signs, so if you would like to follow the pattern along then be sure to subscribe to my mailing list so you are updated each time a new pattern is released.
The first square is the ‘Fire’ word square, which you can find by clicking the link below – I will update the list below as the patterns are released. Remember, if you are making the afghan as pictured, do not cast off after finishing the first square – Sagittarius continues from the top of the ‘Fire’ square.
Air Square (Note, I mixed up the water and air signs in the finished afghan above – this will be corrected in the pattern)
Water Square (Note, I mixed up the water and air signs in the finished afghan above – this will be corrected in the pattern – silly me for assuming Aquarius was a water sign!)
Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Sword 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.
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.
