Signature Squares: A Knit Along by Kaffe Fassett is a striking celebration of colour, pattern, and graphic design, bringing together some of Kaffe Fassett’s most iconic motifs into one beautiful blanket. Each square explores his distinctive bold style through intarsia colourwork, with a bright contrasting palette that creates crisp, eye-catching images.

Knit in Rowan Alpaca Soft DK, this blanket showcases the yarn’s beautifully soft handle and rich, versatile colour palette. The smooth, cosy fabric allows Kaffe’s colours to appear clear and vibrant, while the individual squares come together to create a cohesive design filled with geometric motifs and mirrored details. At the centre is one of Kaffe’s favourite images — a charming house surrounded by bold, playful patterns.

Perfect for knitters who want to explore or deepen their intarsia colourwork skills, this Knit Along offers a creative and rewarding way to work with colour and pattern. Step-by-step tutorials, Zoom meetups, and a welcoming community provide support throughout the project, making it an enjoyable introduction to intarsia as well as an opportunity for experienced colourwork knitters to explore Kaffe Fassett’s distinctive creative vision.

Finished blanket measures approximately 135 cm x 110 cm / 53¼” x 43¼”, excluding the i-cord edging. The i-cord edging adds approximately 1 cm / ½” along all edges.

You will also need 1 pair of 4mm (no. 8) (US 6) needles, 2 double-pointed 4mm (no. 8) (US 6) needles for the i-cord edging, and a tapestry needle, or needles required to achieve the correct tension.
