afghan square
I'm doing a knitted square like you described. It's the center panel
for a shawl. Two stitches is a good start. As for when you decrease, that depends on how big you want it to be. The center panel for my shawl is done in garter stitch and doesn't start till I have 116 sts. The pattern is k1,yo, k to end. This means I knit 114 rows before I start decreasing. Good luck on your square.

Lynne,
If you buy a ball of Bernat cotton, there should be a dishcloth pattern on it that will answer your question. I have used that pattern to make dishcloths and baby blankets. Very easy to do.

You start decreasing when the sides are the required length. What makes it square is how many increases you incorporate in each row. With single crochet, two stitches per row, starting from a first row of two stitches, should give you the right angle. Barbara |

I posted a pattern for a dishcloth not too long ago that consists of 100 rows and you're working on the bias rather than straight rows. Start with one stitch. Do 1 increase at the beginning of each row (until you have 50 on your needle) then start decreasing at the beginning of each row until you have 1 left. Then end off. ~Lindy~ |
