The Blanket Stitch Square

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.

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!
