Description

  

In this class you will expand your knowledge of Mitered squares by knitting from a chart and adding lace, texture and/or color to your project. Adding color can be a great stash buster. We will discuss re-sizing squares, different ways of picking up stitches and either stacking the squares into a larger unit or turning the square on point and using it as a diamond shape. Multiple ways to use mitered squares will be shown.

Track
Yarn Track
Prerequisites
Students must be able to knit, purl, cast on and bind off without supervision. Students should be familiar with making a basic mitered square.
Supplies Students Must Bring

At least 2 colors of worsted weight yarn, about 20 yards each. Knitting needles in US size 7 or 8. I like to use 8-inch double pointed needles due the the short length of the rows, but straight or circular needles will also work. Locking stitch marker, scissors, highlighter tape (or other method of tracking progress on a chart), note taking materials if desired.

Homework
Cast on 27 stitches. Work a garter stitch mitered square using your preferred decrease method.
