I am currently knitting an afghan that requires individual squares to be sewn together to finish the piece. Should I block the pieces before I sew them or when they are all sewn together?
Thanks!
When to block a "block" afghan?
What yarn are you using? Blocking might make it easier to seam, but if you’re using acrylic be aware that it won’t block real well. Probably enough to seam though.
I actually asked the very same question this week. I am making a Debbie Bliss blanket of 54 squares sewn together. Here is the link to the answer I was given

I would block the squares before seaming then for sure. You can block them all the same size and it’ll make seaming a lot easier.
