Knit Little Blossom Mitered Squares for your Blanket
I bet you have not seen a mitered square pattern like this one before? It is a new pattern created just for you. Consider knitting little blossom mitred squares for your next blanket.
(mitred as in British English)
You can alternate the little blossoms with other mitered squares or opt to use just one pattern all the way!
A while ago, I shared the original mitered square pattern in this post, plus the following variations on the pattern:
- Knit a lacy version of the square - pattern here.
- A garter stitch ridge-like variation of the knit block, can be found here.
- Block in the square variation is available here and
- A Contrasting Stripey Knit Block
Now you can purchase the new E-book containing all the current mitred square patterns in one, easy pdf in the Easy on the Tongue Shop or on Ravelry here:

abbreviations
k - knit
k3 tog- knit 3 stitches together
p - purl
p2tog - purl 2 tog
psso - pass slipped stitch over
rep - repeat
rs - right side
s1pw - slip one stitch purl-wise
st - stitch
yo - yarn over
ws - wrong side
Explaining (k1, yo, k1) all in same stitch:
(k1, yo, k1) in same (one) stitch is the abbreviation for: knit one, yarn over and knit again, all in the same stitch;
In other words, you will be knitting the stitch, but before you transfer it to the right needle, bring the yarn from the back to the front (increase stitch) and knit in the same stitch again and transfer all three stitches to the right needle.
You've created 3 stitches out of one.
All the even rows: knit the knit sts and purl the purl sts, and purl the yarn overs:
In other words - (k1, yo, k1) all in same stitch in rs row, will be knitted as k1, p1, k1 in the ws row.
The original Little Blossom stitch is knit in multiples of 6 stitches + 5 over 12 rows.
