Log-Cabin Quilt Block

The log-cabin blanket is a timeless quilting pattern that has captivated crafters across the globe, from the ancient lands of Egypt to the lush British Isles, the vast expanses of Canada, and the heart of America. Now, avid knitters can also dive into the cozy world of log cabin designs!

This versatile square is not only fun to knit but also serves as a canvas for creativity. You can transform it into a variety of cozy creations, from a simple decorative pillow to a snug wrap for chilly evenings, or even an expansive afghan that will keep you warm all winter long. This pattern provides detailed yardage estimates needed for each color in a single square along with comprehensive yardages for various blanket sizes. Please note that all yardages are based on knitting with yarn at a gauge of 5 stitches per inch.

Drawing from my years of experience as both a quilt-shop owner and a passionate knitter, I have designed this pattern to mirror the classic quilter's approach to log cabins. You can choose between a design featuring contrasting light and dark halves or opt for a combination of two striking colorways on each side. I offer plenty of suggestions to inspire you in your color choices, complemented by four pages filled with vibrant color photographs that showcase different blanket ideas.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, this log-cabin blanket pattern is ideal for exploring color combinations and learning new techniques. Let your creativity flow and enjoy the warmth and comfort of a handmade log-cabin masterpiece!
