Free Swedish Blocks 10" Square pattern


I realized I have two other free afghan block pattern downloads that I have yet to blog! (bad blogger, no ampersand) This one is for a pattern called Swedish Blocks, again from one of Barbara Walker's wonderful Treasuries of Knitting books. It is quite a bit simpler than the Gateposts block, but interesting enough to keep me from getting bored while I knit. (A fate to be avoided whenever possible.)
The pattern is available HERE

Requirements:
-#7 needles
-80 yards Worsted weight yarn (sample used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed in ‘Indigo Heather’)
-2 stitch markers
-Gauge: 4.5 stitches per inch after blocking, in pattern stitch.
Designed for the requirements of Wool-Aid (www.wool-aid.org)
