Free Pattern – Bohemian Wraps of Three – Harmony Blanket Square #10
Bohemian Wraps of Three is pattern #10 in the 2018 Harmony Blanket Knit Along. Bundles of stitches are gathered together and wrapped, to create the simple and stylish texture. The pattern includes both written and charted versions of the instructions.
The Harmony Blanket KAL is a knit-along event hosted by the Underground Crafter, Creative Crochet Workshop, and myself. Together with a great team of guest designers, we will be bringing you 48 blanket square patterns throughout the year. Each pattern will have the same border, so that they can easily be combined into a blanket!
Lion Brand has generously provided us with their lovely Vanna’s Choice yarn for free, to use for our designs. It’s a washable, worsted weight acrylic yarn that’s a great choice for blankets. For more information about the event and links to the patterns, be sure to visit the main #HarmonyBlanket post. I hope you’ll join in the fun!

I have not done a tutorial, but if you let me know where you’re getting stuck, maybe I can help? (I’m going to be out all day at Vogue Knitting Live, but if you leave your questions I can answer tonight when I get home)
Isabelle
Thanks, but I believe I figured it out. The error I think is in row 7. It should be as follows: Row 7: S1, k3,*(k1,yo twice) 3 times, k3, repeat from * twice more, k2,p1
The way it is printed, I would not have the slip one stitch available for the first wrap. Wonder if anyone else had the same problem. Thanks for answering my email. I am enjoying the project
Pia Thadani
Actually, that’s the way it was, which was wrong, and you’re correct, that’s where the problem was. I fixed it last night and it is now correct. It should be yo twice then k1. (Same with row 11) 🙂
Isabelle
Thank you – Had problems again with row 11, so ripped it all out and will try again. Thanks so much
Pia Thadani
Ok – let me know if it works out. Once you’ve got it, I’m going to delete this comment thread just so no one gets confused
Connie
Hi I am confused with your pattern, you say to drop next two yarn overs from left needle three times, yet I should have three slipped stitches? I have tried several times but it is not looking right. A video or tutorial would really help
Pia Thadani
Hi Connie 🙂
I think the issue may be that you’re not noticing the brackets – you do everything inside the brackets 3 times, not just dropping yarn overs.
Ok, on the previous row we added some yarn overs, so now on your left needle, you should have (stitch, yo, yo), (stitch, yo, yo), (stitch, yo, yo).
You’re going to slip the stitch, and drop the yarn overs for each of those three groups. So you get (slip, drop drop), (slip, drop drop), (slip drop drop). The result is three very tall, slipped stitches.
Does that help?
Connie
Tx that helped a lot, looks much better. Appreciate your prompt help in answering.

I did row 7 fine, it’s row 8 where I am confused, I will try again
Pia Thadani
Row 7 sets you up for row 8, so if 7 is wrong then 8 makes no sense. You may want to double check that you did row 7 the same way it is currently written (after I made the correction)
Sharon Dowd
I got it, I figured it out. Actually my row 7 was correct. I didn’t know which 3 stitches to put back on the left needle, the dropped one’s or the 3 slipped ones. Also, I didn’t realize you don’t do anything with the yo dropped stitches. I am excited. Thank you
Pia Thadani
Yay!!! Yes the purpose of the yarn overs is purely to make your slipped stitches bigger so they’re easier to wrap 🙂
Sharon Dowd
Thank you, I will be posting it with square 9 soon. Currently working on square 11.
Connie
Thanks helped a lot iv’e got it now. Really appreciate your prompt reply
Pia Thadani
Yay! And no problem 🙂
