Wheels Within Wheels

Despite what your eyes may initially perceive, there are no curves here in this stunning geometric design. Wheels Within Wheels is an intricate tessellation of beautifully crafted pentagons, each with equal sides, making it a true masterpiece of knitting. There are very few 5-sided shapes that can seamlessly fit together to cover a surface without leaving any gaps, and this design is one of the most remarkable examples.

The gorgeous afghan showcased in the first photo comprises 90 identical pentagon pieces, meticulously stitched together to create a visually striking blanket. The stitching process is made remarkably easy because they are all knitted in garter stitch, and the edges align perfectly for straightforward assembly. This lovely afghan will lay flat without any need for blocking, making it an excellent project for both novice and experienced knitters alike.

Our comprehensive knitting instructions include some clever shortcuts to create certain pieces, significantly reducing the amount of stitching required. You'll find that these specific pentagons fit together in a very limited number of combinations, lending a unique and appealing look to your afghan.

One of the accompanying pictures illustrates variations you can make, and the detailed pattern guides you through the process of crafting those variations, inspiring your creativity and personal touch. Best of all, you can experiment with any thickness of yarn you prefer, allowing you to customize your project to suit your style and preferences.
