A pattern featuring Noro yarns Silk Garden and Silk Garden Solo.

NICKY EPSTEIN’S inspiration for the knit-along afghan came from traditional geometric quilts. For the first Quilt Block, Epstein used solid SILK GARDEN SOLO #61 Suita for the center and self-striping SILK GARDEN #87 Nashiro at the four corners.

ABOUT THIS KNIT-ALONG Here is the first design in a series of six quilt blocks. Every two months, a new block will be released featuring new stitches.
