Community Afghan - Free Knitting Pattern

Categories: Free Knitting Patterns   Afghans  
Approximately 40" [1 m] wide by 60" [150 cm] long Winter holidays are a time of generosity -- a time of sharing not only with those who mean the most to us, but also with those less fortunate. In some European countries, old traditions call for lighting candles in windows to invite in the wandering and hungry, and some historians believe that folks in Britain and Canada honour Boxing Day, December 26, as the day parish church alms boxes were opened for the poor. The blanket featured here -- ideal for a group to knit for a needy family or to raffle off as a fund-raiser -- is composed of 96 squares and is worked in simple garter stitch. The squares are portable and don't take long to make; arranging them into the final design is fun and satisfying. Try assembling squares so like-coloured corners form triangles along the border (as shown here), place them to form solid-colour squares, or let chaos reign and fashion them into a crazy quilt.
