This basic pattern formula takes the short row triangle and the un-mitered square, one step further. Using two colors of yarn, both yarns are carried around the edge of the square to create a decorative edging, and avoid tying in yarns at the color change. The size is entirely flexible - any loom in any gauge, with the appropriate yarn, will work for this pattern. For example, a baby afghan loom or full sized Martha Stewart loom will make a small afghan. A sock loom will make a hand towel. The sample in the photos used a ½ inch gauge hat loom with 60 pegs to create a 22 inch square receiving blanket. Try out lace weight yarn, and make a large lace tablecloth. The possibilities are endless. The sample pattern makes a receiving blanket, but you may adjust it to whatever size you prefer.

This pattern is part of a multi-part .pdf ebook, that includes a 24 point large print text file (78 pages), a 12 point paper-saver file (24 pages), cover, 7 pages of photos, and two pages of diagrams.

My patterns are low vision and screen reader accessible. The text is black, Arial and large print 24 point font. All of the directions are fully written out and no charts are relied on to complete the patterns. No italics are used. They are screen reader and tablet friendly.
