I created the Blanket Stitch Square pattern as I was invited to design a square for The Sampler Poncho CAL
This is a great crochet along that RaeLyn from Itchin for Some Stitchin dreamt up.
What is the Sampler Poncho CAL?
The Sampler Poncho Crochet Along is an event where a Sampler Poncho is created from squares designed by many designers! Every week Itchin for Some Stitchin will release 3 squares for you to make.
Join in with this simple fun event where three crochet stitch/stitch patterns are released each week (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) from July 4, 2022 through August 26, 2022.
Each pattern is free to download for 24 hours (from 12am – 11:5pm EST) in PDF format.
At the end of the event, on August 29, 2022, instructions will be provided on how to turn the squares in to a fun and fashionable poncho!
I am so excited to share my Blanket Stitch Square as a part of the Poncho CAL on July 13th.
Here’s how it works:
