And there is also a YouTube video with Martin giving you more information about this week’s square design.


Also check out the these washing and blocking instructions from Rowan:

Hi All, as your pile of Pure Wool Worsted squares are building up, here are some tips to ensure they’re ready for making up: 
We recommend an initial wash of each square, for blocking into shape. This will also remove excess dye. 
Remove excess water by rolling in a towel, and pin into shape (20cm x 20cm). 
Dry the squares flat and in the shade. When the squares dry, they should all be an even shape, ready for making up. 
This process is called blocking, and will mean the squares are a consistent shape for making up, and won’t run or bleed into the other shades when machine washing in the future. 
Any further issues, please contact mail@knitrowan.com.

And here are the shades I selected for this fifth pattern:

135 papaya

135 Papaya

124 rich red

124 Rich Red

Again 1 hour / 1 square! I have knitted my squares using 4mm needles to get the correct tension.
