Jacque wants to help EWE use up your scraps by making a fun project where each square requires just 10 yards of fingering weight yarn! The possibilities are endless using the Knitted Patchwork Recipe from Martine Ellis, we’re dreaming up blankets, table runners, place mats, or even pillow covers! These mitre squares are the perfect way to keep your scrappy memories alive, swap scraps with friends, or curate your palette with mini skeins! Skills used in this class are knitting, K2tog, slip 1 purlwise, and working through the back loop. EWE will need a US2 needle (DPNs, long circular, or even straight needles will work!), 4 different fingering weight scraps (minimum of 10 yards per scrap), scissors, 1 locking stitch marker (lightbulb or keyhole style), and 1 standard circular stitch marker.
