INSTRUCTIONS
Miter Square Instructions
(Make 48). Each square is approx 2.5” square.
Get two stitch markers that are different color. Name one marker A and the other B.
Set your knitting loom to its largest setting. You want your slider all the way down to the edge. Count 12 pegs from the edge of the rail, place stitch Marker A on the peg. Then count 5 pegs from the slider and 7 pegs from the other rail; place stitch Marker B on the last peg on this rail.
Using the Yarn Over cast on, cast on 24 pegs. Start casting on at the peg with Marker B. (You can use any other cast on that provides a firm foundation. I do not recommend the ewrap cast on).
Working yarn will be located by Marker A.

Row 21: k2tog, k2tog
Row 23: k2tog
BO: Cut working yarn, leaving a 12 inch yarn tail. Ewrap peg with yarn tail, lift the bottom loop off. Then pull the tail through to create the BO.
SEAMING
Block all squares prior to seaming.
Using the garter stitch ridges, seam with the mattress stitch all the squares as shown in the diagram. The red lines show the midline of each of the mitered squares, the black line shows the front of the sweater-do not seam this area, leave it open.
The neckline squares: leave two squares unattached at the back neckline and also unattached to each other at the front of the neck. The squares at this area will be folded down and secured with an accent button so the square folds down at the front neckline.
After seaming the squares to each other. Seam the sides of the sweater closed. Seam the arm sleeve closed. Sew the buttons in place by folding down the front two middle squares, forming a small lapel. Secure the buttons down.
Weave all ends in. Block lightly if necessary.
Need extra help with the squares? We have a video demonstrating a mitered square over 24 pegs.
This is something, easy to do…:)
You truly expressed that terrifically..
Truly a lot of superb advice!
These are so lovely, Isela! 🙂
I loved making this. I did one in a pink and white and about to start another one in blue. Thanks for sharing. I would love to share picture but not sure how to add it on here.
I had tried the mite red square in the a Tunisian stitch. And my hands shakes too much to do it well. But I can always fall back on my loom! I was pleased to see the pattern printed here! I am back in business. I like to be able to do several types of crafts and to mix them if I can. But the miter square was going to be my downfall until I saw it demonstrated! Thank you so much! I can now finish my project that I thought I was going to have to quit! Thanks so much! Patty
