This is a KNITTING PATTERN for the Mindful Seamless Knit Afghan. We live in a busy world. It is good to take the time to relax and de-stress from the days worries. Knitting is a great hobby to help calm our body and minds down. This Mindful Seamless Knit Afghan has been designed to use our knitting to focus on relaxation.
HAVE YOU EVER KNIT AN AFGHAN BEFORE?
If you have, you realize how much time and energy is spent working on it. Afghans will take hours and hours to knit. Sometimes, you can get really tired with the pattern. A lot of afghans repeat the same rows over and over again. This is fine, but when you get bored with a knit, it seems to take forever! Or if you haven’t knit an afghan before, maybe it is because you are overwhelmed at the thought.
I love the idea of an afghan that looks like a quilt. I have seen afghans where each square or rectangle is knit individually and then all seamed together at the end. This is a neat idea, but the thought of seaming all those pieces together is daunting. I wanted to design an afghan that has the same effect but is completely seamless! Here it is!
The themes for each section are the following:
Section 1: Joy
Section 2: Calm breathing
Section 3: Relaxation
Section 4: Peace
Section 5: Acceptance
Section6: In the moment
Section 7: Focus
Section 8: Dream
Section 9: Gratitude
I also have a blog with more information. I have designed colour pallets that you are welcome to use.
