GAUGE:

14 sts + 26 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit 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:

Afghan is made from four separate squares

AFGHAN

SQUARE - make 2 in A and 2 in B
Cast on 20 sts. Knit every row until piece measures 6 inches. Bind off as to knit.

ASSEMBLY

To join two pieces together, thread a large-eyed blunt needle with B. Place the edges of the squares side by side with the right sides (the sides that people will see) FACING OUT.

Start sewing with the threaded needle at one end of the work

From the right side, stitch up the sides as shown, alternating one square to the other.

OUTSIDE BORDER:

With RS facing and C, pick up and knit 40 sts across cast-on edge 1. Knit 8 rows. Bind off all sts as if to knit. Repeat along edge 2.

With RS facing and C, pick up and knit 48 sts across cast-on edge 3 and ends of edges 1 and 2 borders. Knit 8 rows. Bind off all sts as if to knit. Repeat along edge 4.
