Blocking Board Kit for Knitting & Crochet

Finish your knitting and crochet projects the way they deserve. This blocking board kit gives you a firm, gridded surface and everything you need to pin shawls, sweater pieces, socks and lace into shape, so stitches even out and edges lie flat.

What's included

• 9 interlocking blocking mats
• 200 T-pins
• 4 blocking combs
• 1 tapestry needle
• 1 felt carrying case with a pocket for notions

Great for

• Opening up patterns
• Squaring sweater pieces before seaming
• Blocking socks, hats and granny squares
• Taking to knit nights, retreats and classes in the carrying case

How to use it

Lock the mats together to fit your project, wet or steam block your finished piece, then pin it to shape with the T-pins. Use the blocking combs along straight edges to keep shawl and blanket borders crisp. Let the piece dry fully before unpinning.

FAQs

Do the mats lock together? Yes, the 9 mats interlock so you can build a surface that fits small swatches or a full shawl.

Can I steam block on it? Yes, hold the steam above the fabric rather than pressing directly onto the mats.

Is it easy to store? The mats stack and slide into the included felt case, and the pocket keeps pins, combs and the tapestry needle together.
