Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a car square! This square would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth, or you could put it together with some of the other squares to make an afghan or blanket (all my squares are the same size). Finished square approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)

Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used – with DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.

Thank you so much for all the beautiful and wonderful squares you are designing. I’m using them for blankets for my young grandsons
You’re very welcome 😊
Loving working up your squares! About half way thru making an Afghan much like the one pictured above…..if I may ask, any chance of adding a moon to go with the sun and star? And if I may be even more cheeky, a poodle would be over the top! Thank you for your generosity allowing us to use your lovely patterns💕💕
Thanks! I will add a moon and a poodle to my ever growing list – great ideas!
