Learn how to knit this easy blanket square pattern to add to your beautiful blanket. This free knitting pattern is an 8 row repeat with all the right side rows knit.

It works up quickly in worsted weight yarn. Choose a wool blend yarn for a cozy blanket. Or use a cotton yarn for kitchen use.

Knitted blanket squares also make great dishcloths or washcloths to gift! Read on for the free pattern.

The simple garter stitch rows contrast the stockinette stitch rows and look great in a solid color. If you prefer knit stitches to purls then this is the pattern for you.

Combining individual squares is a great way to customize a knit baby blanket without cast on a large number of stitches at one time. It’s a quick win when you can finish a square in one sitting!

Afghan squares also make it easy to adjust your blanket size and shape. You can decide if you’re making a knit throw blanket or a square baby blanket.
