Cast On, Catch Up: Leah - A Tutorial! Adding ready made squares to your blanket

Ok so here's the square I made today somewhere where it wasn't suitable to take the whole blanket. It's sat next to the "hole" it will fill soon. So step one - check your colours :)

Step 2: on the side of the single suare you'll have the edge you need to sew in, Seeing as this is the non slipped stitch edge you need to work with the ribbed edge you have. Go through both the ribs with your needle.

Step 3: Line up your square to the edge it needs to be sewed onto. The green is already part of the existing blanket, had I not pre-knitted the square the is th e edge I would be using to cast on my next square. Push the needle through the slipped stitches (both)

This is how it looks after a few stitches. Tried to find slightly contrasting colours so that you'd see the stitch but that it wouldn't show up too much on the blanket. The thread i'm using is slightly lighter purple (more obvious on the green)

This is how the back looks after sewing it all the way.

And the front..

ok now the other edge. So orange is the original blanket and purple is the one I need to join, you can see the slipped stitches clearly on the orange (The V's)
