Welcome to 'SIBOL' - The Archive

OOh! That's a nice Square! How many times does some one say that to you? Can you share the pattern please?

Why not post a photo of the Square you have made for our SIBOL Blankets and then give the pattern details.

Intarsia "Kiss" Square


What a pleasure to be able to post on this lovely blog and share how some of the SIBOL squares have been made!



This was one of the first squares I made and it is a straightforward "Granny Square" which I vamped up a bit  using two colours within the rows.  To do this you must weave in the colour you are not using along the back of the work - I admit it is quite fiddly with a lot of untangling of yarn but I loved the finished square.  Here is a view of the back and if you look closely you will see the weaving effect.

Websites








Web sites for Free Patterns please?

Hi Everyone!

I have received an email this morning saying how beautiful the Squares are in the Blankets.
Sally was asking whether there was a book she could use.  I recommended our Site here and
also the Jan Eaton '200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws and Afghans'.  So many of the
Squares are taken from that book. It is available on Amazon and places like that. In the UK the
book retails at £12.99 but I'm sure you can get it cheaper on-line!

Can anyone recommend any good sites with 'free patterns for Crocheted Squares  please?'.
I'd be happy if you could leave a comment or 'team blog' with us and let us know.

Where do you get your patterns from?

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed on SIBOL The Archive!
