Ribby Square Knitting Pattern for Blanket

Sharing is caring!

The Ribby Knit Square features textured vertical columns made with simple knits and purls. This 8″ by 8″ square is an easy knit square with a four row repeat. The worsted weight yarn drapes beatuifully so its perfect for a blanket.

Sometimes an afghan project can seem daunting. I love the quick win of knitting a blanket square. There is no pressure to keep going (way past my bedtime) because there’s an endless blanket length ahead!

This simple square pattern pairs well with others so you can knit a variety of knit squares to mix and match. The Ribby Square is a part of the Charity Cozy Fall Make Along, keep reading for all the details on this free pattern.

I love a stitch pattern that uses simple knit stitches and purls! The fabric here is like stockinette stitch. The wrong side is mostly purls and the right side mostly knits with purl bumps to break it up.

The Yarn

For the Ribby Square I used Brava Worsted in the color Dove Heather. This acrylic yarn has a pretty sheen to it. The drape is lovely for a #4 medium worsted weight yarn.

This square uses less than one skein of yarn so you may be able to use leftover yarn. Yarn scraps work great for a patchwork blanket.

Other supplies you’ll need are 4.5 mm needles. I use my circular knitting needles but you can use straight needles. Circular needles are just what I have!

And your basic knitting notions: scissors, tapestry needle, measuring tape. A stitch marker is not necessary, unless you want to mark the right side.

Squares are great for customizing your blankets. Choose a solid color or try different colors for each one. You can arrange them to make a square blanket or a rectangle with these square patterns.

Be sure to read up on how to get all the individual squares you can knit in the make along. These beautiful squares will make a gorgeous knitted blanket.
