COMPLETED WRAPS ARE MADE OF 28 SQUARES - 4 ACROSS AND 7 DOWN
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SQUARES
A FUN AND ADVANCED PATTERN IDEA
SQUARES FOR WRAPS are to measure:
10 inches x 10 inches (25 cm x 25 cm)
Block 1, cast on 100 stitches
Row 1: k48, k2 tog. Using a contrasting
BLOCK 2
colour tie a marker around
the needle. Knit
to the end of row.
Row 2: Knit to 2
Block 2
stitches BEFORE Block 2
pick
cast
the marker, k2
up 50
on 50
stitches
tog. Slip marker, stitches
knit to end of row.
Repeat row 2 until there
are 4 sts left, dropping the
marker on the last row.
Next row: k1, k2 tog, k1
Next row: k1, k2 together.
Final row: k2 together, do
not break off thread.
KNITTED SQUARES To knit a 10 inch x 10 inch
square use 8 (4 mm) needles, 8 ply yarn (either
wool or acrylic) cast on 50-55 stitches and knit each
row plain (ie garter stitch).
NOTE Test your tension to measure 10 inches.
DO NOT KNIT one row plain, one row purl (ie
stocking stitch) as your square will curl up.
NO KNOTS Start each ball of yarn at the beginning
of a row and sew in ends. Do not cut ends off short
as your square will unravel. When starting or
finishing a square, sew in all ends.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIAGONAL SQUARES
Cast on 3 stitches.
Row 1: k1, increase 1 in next
stitch, knit to end of row.
Cast off 3 stitches
Repeat Row 1 until side edge
measures 10 inches (25 cm).
Next Row: k1, k2 together, knit
to end of row. Repeat this row
until 3 stitches remain, cast off.
Cast on 3 stitches
COMPLETED WRAPS ARE PREFERRED
They are made up of 28
squares, joined alternately
as per diagram.
Across: 4 squares = 40 inches
(102 cm)
Down: 7 squares = 70 inches
(178 cm)
Please keep joins on the same
side and flat.
Wraps can be knitted,
crocheted, machine knitted,
woven or patchwork lined to
finish 40 inches x 70 inches
(102 cm x 178 cm).
BLOCK 1 Cast on 100 stitches
To begin Block 2, pick up 50 stitches along the
top edge of Block 1.
Turn knitting around and then continue by casting on (using the two needle cast-on method) a
further 50 stitches (100 stitches).
Repeat rows as for Block 1. Make columns of 4
or 7 blocks and sew columns together.
Or, alternatively, to avoid having to sew the
columns up, using a completed column of 4 or
7 squares,
begin 2nd column: 1st block cast on 50
stitches and then pick up 50 stitches along the
right edge of the first square of the first column.
Knit a new square.
2nd block: pick up 50 stitches along the top
edge of the square just completed and 50
stitches from the side of the 2nd square in the
first column.
Knit a new square.
Continue with this process until all 28 squares
have been completed. Sew in all loose ends.
Tip: When changing colour, knit the first row in
K1 P1 rib. This gives a pattern and saves the
definite right or wrong side.
