Knitting Squares - Method 2

Squares can be made using double knitting wool.

4 ply can be used if 2 strands are used together.

They should be 15cm / 6in square. (It is easier joining them up if they are all the same size)

Each blanket will need 70 squares - 7 squares by 10 squares.

Guide - Method 2

Cast on 30 stitches. Knit for 15cm /6in using garter stitch.

I use size 8 / 4mm needles but you may need to adjust size of needles or no of stitches to get the right size squares.

Most colours are fine, except white.

Feel free to be inventive with stripes etc - this is a good way to use small amounts of wool.

I will be happy to join squares, but if you or your group is making enough squares for a complete blanket you might want to join them yourselves.

Please contact me for details of where to send squares.

Thank you on behalf of the women and children.
