The Cocoknits Knitter's Block Kit is a blocking system built around interlocking foam blocks with a grid, plus pins. You fit the blocks together to the size you need, lay out your damp piece and pin it to measurements by following the grid lines.
That grid is what makes it useful. Instead of measuring with a tape every few inches, you can see straight away whether a sweater front is square, whether two sleeves match, or whether a shawl point lines up.
It's a solid first blocking setup for a knitter or crocheter who has started making garments and wants them to come out the size the pattern intended.
Good for
- Blocking sweater pieces to measurements
- Matching pairs, like sleeves or socks
- Squaring up crochet granny squares
- Small shawls and accessories
- Knitters new to blocking
Using it
Soak your finished piece in lukewarm water with a no-rinse wash, squeeze out water gently in a towel, then lay it on the blocks and pin to the measurements in your pattern. Use the grid to keep edges straight. Leave it until completely dry before unpinning. Our blocking guide walks through wet blocking, steam blocking and spray blocking.
Looking after it
Let the blocks dry fully before stacking them away, so damp doesn't get trapped. Keep pins together in a box or on a magnet so none go missing in the carpet.
