Product Information

Even better, you can opt for detachable blocking mats, or rather mats that can be rearranged to suit your different work plans. In this method, all you have to do is lay a piece of your hand-knit on the surface and shape it to the desired size.

Are you a starting or experienced knitter looking for the ideal crochet blocking mats in terms of quality? You can use single mats for small projects or assemble them together for larger and complex projects like shawls, scarves, and sweaters. In just 24 hours, you can hide your stitching mistakes and transform your work into something that looks and fits exactly how you envisioned it. The KnitIQ blocks are expandable and can be linked like a jigsaw puzzle to create a long, even surface, perfect for odd-shaped projects such as the sleeves of a sweater. If you plan to pin your knitting in place, choose a cushioned flat surface like a yoga mat, ironing board, bath mat, cushion, carpet, or a bed.And, make no mistake, the puzzle is fairly tight, so you won’t even realize the block isn’t one solid board. If you knit socks often, you can also find adjustable sock blockers that allow you to block your socks in multiple sizes. Highly recommend the Albers book if you fancy a really deep dive into how and why colours behave so differently, depending on their neighbours. Yet, their pieces are fantastic, and it might even tempt you into thinking that if they’ve been crocheting or knitting so successfully for so long, then blocking can’t be that important.

These mats usually come in interlocking pieces that you can assemble to suit the size and shape of your work. It’s hard to gauge exactly how wet your fabric gets, and it’s often just not powerful enough to block big and heavy projects. I realize that some of you are super-organized, because interest in my knitted and crocheted Christmas tree patterns goes up from about September, but here at Twisted Towers, we’re only just facing the fact that the big day really is coming, whether we’re ready or not – which makes it sound a bit like a game of hide-and-seek, only with more pine needles embedded in the carpet… and twins who may yet spontaneously combust through sheer excitement.The mat is also built with practicality in mind as it’s not only durable but also heat and moisture resistant to survive different blocking techniques, including steaming.
