Squares For A Blanket?

[Jan in CA]

Eeek! Does Kf&b mean knit front and back? Not so sure I know how to do this yet. Have never tried it, nor have I tried a YO

Don't panic! Those are the easiest increases to do so you should learn them and this is a good way to do it. Scroll down to KFB and YO to see the two videos. I'd post the direct link, but I don't know if you knit continental or english.

Even if you choose not to do squares it's a valuable lesson.

Oh I HAVE watched those videos before!! I am a continental knitter! I think I can probably do this!!

So I did my first square, took me a couple of hours but I really enjoyed doing it. I have a question though, I have either this yarn http://www.yarnfwd.com/vintagedk.html or this one http://www.yarnfwd.com/vintage.html I THINK it's the second one though cause I know it's worsted that I bought. Are these ok to use for squares for a blanket or dishcloth or should I use these for something else? I originally bought it to use as hat yarn.

Sure, those should be okay. You just want to make sure that you're knitting all your squares with the same gauge yarn. I made a sweater with Vintage. It's a very nice yarn!

Your square looks great!

Thanks so much! The edges arn't that smooth but I'm sure that comes with practice I'm going to start on my second one now :D

If you're going to seam or crochet them together it won't matter anyway.

Your square came out great!

The pattern is perfect for a dishcloth or a blanket square. Use depends on what kind of yarn. If you're using either of the yarns you linked to, I'd think it's better for a blanket. Wool and hot dishwater don't quite mix together...

What I actually decided to do was make a baby blanket as ONE big square!
