Sudoku Lap Throw

I wanted to share something that came up in discussion a couple of weekends ago when knitting with some friends. One person had seen an afghan/lap throw done in the manner of a Sudoku puzzle. There were nine colors with a number (1-9) assigned to each color. You take a solved Sudoku puzzle and arrange the knitted or crocheted squares of colors according to where the numbers fall.



There was a lot of discussion of putting black or dark borders around each square or not or just putting the border around the outside or doing both.

Years ago i knitted a sweater with 9 colors i made it in a Log cabin pattern , mooving the numbers +1 up in each square ,, but i knitted it in one go =2 squares are on each half part of the sweater ,,, [ 2 on front 2 on back i Drew a pattern and calculated the sizes so that 1 square will cover 1/4 of my circumference ,,, i started each inside with an other color and than followed the surrounding `strips` by numbers ,,,, at times i knitted 6 colors in one row ,,,, was sun still looks great. mirjam

BonnieBlue,

The latest Knit1 magazine for Fall or Winter (brunette with long hair and a cream colored giant cable sleeveless sweater on the cover) has it.

I believe it has borders around the 9 patches and overall, but not the individual squares.

I love that idea, I'm a sodoku addict! I might just put an unsolved puzzle together, knit up some # washcloths and leave it out. It would be a great idea for a guest bedroom!
