Default Anyone know about mitered squares


The only way you can calculate that is to know your sts/inch, and the
only way to know that is.... knit a sample.

The good [ and after you try it the easiest way to make a any knitted
thing well sized s is by smapling , knit 20 st with your WANTED
pattern over 10 rows ,, now measure and writye down 20 St= ? cm
[ inches ] , now measure wanted size ,,, and calculate how many st to
make .
for a mittered square you make the wanted st, + 1 st in the corner ,
than again the amount of wanted size ,,,, now you knit a row , and
every second row you dearese 1 st at each side of the middle st.
mittered squares are better off if not all rows are the same all the
time.
I have made sweaters shawls moebiouses , vests a doll , etc from
mittered squares ,
