Anything in a straight boxlike shape can be made from this simple pattern. Scarves, blankets, squares, wraps…ext.
It’s only perplexing to look at, not to make. Beginners will have fun and it doesn’t get boring for those of us with more experience. Works up quickly too.

Because of the versatile nature, your special item can be made in either a vertical or horizontal direction!
There is a gentle ripple effect along the rows.

It is in one piece, so there are no issues with sections fitting together. Guage is NOT important (finally). And all size hooks/yarn have advantages so go for it!

The design looks best in a solid color, more perplexing, but color changing yarn looks fabulous too.
