KnitPro Lace Blocking Mats – Set of 9 Interlocking 12" Squares

KnitPro Lace Blocking Mats give your knitting and crochet a firm, pinnable surface for shaping and drying. This set includes nine interlocking mats, each measuring 12 × 12 inches, which can be arranged to suit your project's shape. KnitPro is also known as Knitter's Pride.

Lay out a lace shawl, square up sweater pieces before seaming or shape crochet squares for assembly. Once your project is dry, separate the puzzle-style mats for storage until your next finishing session.

What's included

• Nine blocking mats.
• Each mat measures 12 × 12 inches.
• Interlocking puzzle-piece edges for flexible layouts.
• Teal mats with floral prints.

Plan your blocking surface

Arrange the nine mats in a 3 × 3 layout for a surface approximately 36 × 36 inches, or change the arrangement to suit a narrower or differently shaped project. Check your pattern's finished measurements before choosing a layout; larger projects may require additional mats.

For knitting and crochet projects

• Lace shawls and wraps.
• Sweater pieces before seaming.
• Socks, hats and mitts.
• Crochet squares and doilies.

Blocking tools and use

Join the mats on a suitable flat surface, arrange your project to the measurements in its pattern and secure it with appropriate blocking pins or blockers. Follow your yarn's care instructions and allow the piece to dry completely before removing pins. Avoid stretching beyond the intended dimensions.

The mats provide the surface; pins or blockers hold the fabric in position. Pair them with Project Blockers for straight edges or T-pins for points and curves. Before using heat or steam, check the mat manufacturer's instructions and the yarn's care guidance.
