🧶 Modular knitting: assembling pieces for unique creations

🧵 Introduction: What if your knitting became a creative puzzle?

Looking for unusual knitting projects that don't involve tedious sewing and allow you to fully express your creativity? Modular knitting is for you. This technique, which involves assembling knitted modules (squares, triangles, diamonds, etc.) to create unique pieces, is ideal for knitters of all skill levels.

At Knit-Sis, we love this approach that combines freedom, color, and modularity. It's like playing with Lego... but made of wool!

🔍 What is modular knitting?

Modular knitting involves knitting modules (small blocks or geometric shapes) that gradually assemble to create a complete piece. Unlike traditional knitting, this method does not require large pieces to be sewn together at the end: each module is directly connected to the next.

✨ Advantages of modular knitting:

• No sewing : The modules assemble as you go.
  

• Endless creativity : Combine different shapes, colors and textures.
  

• Accessibility : Ideal for beginners who want to get started with knitting gently.
  

• Less clutter : You work on small sections, perfect for taking your projects everywhere!

🧩 The basics to know:

1. Choose your module shape : Squares, triangles, diamonds...
   

2. Cast on the first module : Use a simple or temporary cast on.
   

3. Assemble the following modules : Pick up the stitches on the edge of the previous module to knit the next one.
