Learn intarsia colourwork and bobble stitch on a smaller, manageable project before beginning a full-sized blanket.
This free knitting practice pattern creates three colourful intarsia squares, each decorated with raised bobble stitches and surrounded by a neat seed stitch border. The complete sample is worked flat in one piece, allowing you to practise changing colours, managing separate yarn sections and forming textured bobbles without the commitment of a large project.
Written row-by-row instructions are included alongside a main knitting chart, an intarsia colour chart and step-by-step bobble stitch photographs. A linked video tutorial provides additional visual support while you work.
Once you feel confident, use your new skills to progress to designs such as Heart Squares, Number Squares, Sweet Dreams, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or the free Cancer Support Lap Blanket.
