GAUGE:
Each Square measures 8 inches to 8½ inches. 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.
THROW: Square A (make 18): With straight needles Size 11 and C, cast on 23 sts. Foll Square Pat, work 15 rows with C, ending with a WS row. Drop C, pick up W. Cont in Square Pat for 12 rows, ending with a WS row. Drop W, pick up C. Cont in Square Pat for 15 rows, ending with a RS row. Bind off from WS, with a knit row. Side Edge Finishing Row: With C, pick up 24 sts along side edge of Square A, turn. Bind off with a knit row. Work same Finishing Row on other side edge of Square A.
Square B (make 17): Work same as Square A, reversing colors: use W for C and C for W. Use C for Finishing Row along side edges.

Strips #2, 4, & 6: Alternate 1 Square B vertically and 1 Square A horizontally until 5 Squares are joined. When 7 strips are completed, join strips alternately so that there is a checkerboard effect.

Works up quickly. Exquisite in black and teal green, and I put it together with a strand each of black 4 ply and black eyelash yarn. Quite pretty.
