The Tutorial Throw

The Tutorial Throw was designed for my friends who wanted to learn to knit, but who lived too far away for me to teach them in person.

It is a patchwork blanket made up of knitted squares. Each square introduces a new technique, taking you from absolute beginner to pretty advanced.

Often there are more than one ways to achieve the desired result. I’ll show you the techniques I have found to be most convenient. If you find a better way of doing things, do let me know! Live and learn is my motto 😉 You are welcome to use the comments field at the bottom of each page 👇

You can join the squares to make a full size throw as shown, a baby blanket or a cushion (depending on how many squares you make).

Each square measures approx. 15 x 15cm (6 x 6in).

For a throw I suggest you make 63 squares (7 x 9). For a baby blanket I suggest you make 25 or 35 squares (5 x 5 or 5 x 7).

My patches weigh around 15-18g each depending on the pattern. This means I get approximately 3 squares per 50g skein of yarn. (If you choose needles of a different size and yarn of a different weight than what I propose, these numbers do not apply.)
