Knitting Squares - Method 1

Squares can be made using Double knitting wool.

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

They should be 15 cm / 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 1

I use size 8 /4mm needles.

Cast on 1 st and turn.

Inc in 1st stitch then Knit to end of row.

Continue increasing 1 st at beg of each row like this till the sides are just 15cm / 6in.

Then start decreasing 1 stitch at beg of each row till only 1 st remains -pull through.

Most colours are fine except white.

Feel free to be inventive with stripes etc - this is a good way to use up 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.
