Do you want to knit a beautiful summer blanket with us? Then come join us in a common knitting project here!
Now we can finally reveal our big common knitting project that we’ve been working on: The Step-by-Step Summer Blanket KAL 😍
KAL stands for “Knit-Along” and is about all of us knitting the same pattern at the same time (and in this case even in the same yarn)!
The cool thing about a common project like this one is that it gives you an opportunity to help other skilled knitting enthusiasts and share your excitement about the knitting process.
The knitting community takes place in our Facebook event right here (pssst… there’ll be fabulous prizes up for grabs in the event 🏆)
Do you want to join? Then sign up via email here to receive the individual parts of the pattern directly in your inbox every thursday from June 10 and the following 6 weeks 🥳

About the pattern 🧶
The pattern is designed as a step-by-step principle and increases in difficulty. It has a special focus on the new knitter, but it’s also a great summer project for the experienced knitter. The final result is a secret, but the summer blanket will measure approx. 70 x 155 cm (27,5” x 61”) when finished.
NB! To make sure that the amount of yarn in the kit matches the pattern, you need to hit the knitting tension noted in the first part of the pattern. The recommended needle size for this pattern is 6 mm. If you have a tendency to knit tightly or loosely, we recommend that you also have knitting needles in size 5 or 7 mm . at home when the project starts.
In this blog post we have gathered everything you need to know about gauge swatches.
