The end is near!

This month’s color is Eye See Ewe, a beautiful color that really gives our blanket a nice pop! What’s happening in this month’s kit?

In this month we are working with our featured color K, as well as the colors D, E, F, G and I. We crochet Stripe 17, Corner Blocks 3 & 4 as well as Side Sections 5 & 6.

My tips for Kit #11

Stripe 17 - Using Color K, we are going to work into Stripe 15, using the Iris Stitch. Such a fun stitch and not complicated at all, check out the video if you need help working this stitch. Blocked Measurements- 2 x 24”

Corner Block 3 & 4- We are working these Corner blocks as we did last month, just using different colors, easy peasy. So far I have not run out of any colors!
Blocked Measurements 5” square

Time to start assembling!

Assembly - We join the Corner Blocks 1 and 4 to the short ends of the Side Sections 2 & 4, and join Corner Blocks 2 and 3 to short ends of Side Sections 1 and 3. I chose to use the mattress stitch to join my pieces together. Refer to the schematic to see how to place your blocks.

Side Section 5 - Using Color K, beginning at the side of Corner Block 3, work the first 2 rows into the horizontal back bar, (3rd loop) Row 3 is a special stitch - Bead Stitch. Blocked Measurements 6 x 50”

Side Section 6 - Using Color K, beginning at the side of Corner Block 4, work as you did in section 5. Blocked Measurements 6 x 50”

Finishing - It’s time to weave in those ends and block your pieces to the finished measurements.

The Club is now closed.

Jimmy Beans Blanket Club is closed for 2025 and you can no longer join the club, however, they will be having another blanket club in 2026 so follow them to get all the details when they become available
