Mitered Squares Afghan

Lion Brand® Amazing®

GAUGE:

16 sts + 30 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row).

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Afghan is made from 5 Panels; Top Panel, Lower Panel, 2 Side Panels, and Center Panel. The Panels are sewn together following the Assembly Diagram.
2. Each Panel is made from mitered diamonds. Smaller diamonds are worked first. Then stitches are picked up across 2 sides of adjoining diamonds to join them tog and beg working the next row of diamonds.
3. The instructions will tell you how many sts to pick up along a specific edge. Be sure to pick up sts as evenly spaced as possible.
4. Follow the Assembly Diagram for placement of each Diamond and arrangement of Panels.
