My finished Copenhagen Building Blocks baby blanket!
The Copenhagen Building Blocks by Jake Henzler are a labor of love, but so worth it! This blanket took upwards of a year and dozens (likely hundreds 😅) of hours.
These houses are a super fun knit. If you've done stranded colorwork in the round, I highly recommend this pattern to practice back-and-forth colorwork. It's finicky, but fun once you get the hang of it. These houses also make a great travel project, too — the pattern is easy to memorize once you've done a few, and the little houses are perfectly sized to fit in a purse. Once you start to understand the construction of the houses, you can start coming up with new motifs, too (see the bottom right for example). They are seamed together with mattress stitch, and then I incorporated the pattern Finir au coin for a crispy blanket edge.
Pattern: Copenhagen Building Blocks by Jake Henzler (with a Finir au coin border)
Yarn: 24/7 Cotton by LionBrand (would also recommend this yarn! It's very affordable and has a lovely sheen to it)
