A handy item from the Knitter's Block Kit, this is a way for users to make sure their knits are blocking to their desired measurements. It is a thin cotton cloth, woven to 1" / 2.5cm square gingham. The thread is pre-treated before the fabric is woven to prevent stretching, shrinking, or distortion. Lay it under a knitted item to get straight edges and precise measurements.
