The second square in the Be Square: A Knitted Education series provides a wonderful introduction into how knits and purls interact to create pattern. The square-within-a-square motif that runs throughout the series becomes evident in a stitch pattern that maintains a knit stitch on the right side of the piece throughout. Knitters only have to think about patterning on one side of the piece, so that every other row provides a break. This classic square can be repeated to make an elegant baby blanket, or it can be used on its own as a washcloth.
