Seed-stitch mitered squares take on two looks: The understated version uses one kettle-dyed color with emphasis on the decrease lines. The bold version mixes six colors and breaks the decrease lines with purl bumps. (Note that the multicolor piece provides plenty of yardage for a second version by reapportioning colors for differently colored larger squares.)
