MITRE SQUARE KNITTING is a technique for creating a square by decreasing a rectangle in the middle of each right-side row. This creates a 45-degree angle that allows for interesting colour changes.

Work 3 mitred squares; add 3 more until you have created 30 squares/10 rows – or longer if desired. Any yarn can be used, the biggest contrast works best… you can of course go wild and use different textures, different yarn weights and colours.
