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 , mirjam ps keep yopur swatches with time you will have enough to use in some work !!!!

I would think a bag would be easy as you just make a square. You could make small squares and sew together for a scarf, or pick up sts along one side of the first one, cast on the same number of sts to make the next square, and keep going.

In my Son`s swetaer i alternated Big squares with smaller ones ,,, [=

1 big square and next to it 4 with half the measure of the bigger one

Portia, one other advice , keep a copybook in which you will write you `experiments `

like ,,,,, wool [name of wool or description] , knitted on needles number ?

20 stitches = x cm [or inches ] in pattern.? etc,, also write any detail that was importnat to you ,,, this will help you for YEARS later . mirjam

That is a good start Portia, i loved cards , but they compliacted my work , [ i keep an index of articles and patterns in a box with cards ,,,, patterns and all details of a knitted work seemed to me [but this is a very personal choice ], much more fitting in a copybook .

happy knitting mirjam

Hope you are having a great day.

Thank you i did loads of stuff but no knitting ,,,,, never mind there is always another day mirjam
