Squares for Bridge and Beyond

July is Give A Square month at  Bridge and Beyond. These are 2 that I have done so far. If I don't record the info now, I will surely forget later.

The square on the left is made with:

Pattern: 2009: The Year of the Afghan - February Square
Yarn used: Plymouth Encore #682 which is Blue Veil. It is 75% Acrylic and 25% wool. Machine wash & machine dry.
Size 7 needles.
There are instructions for different size squares with multiples of 8. I just subtracted 8 from the 44 which gave me 36 stitches which gave a square of 7" x 7".

The square on the right was made with:

Pattern: 2009: The Year of the Afghan - January Square
Yarn used: Plymouth Encore Colorspun #7127. This is a discontinued color. This yarn, even though it is worsted weight like the other, is thinner strands. Used 2 strands together. Also machine wash and machine dry.
Size 7 needles.
There are instructions for different size squares using multiples of 6. I subtracted 6 stitches from 45 and got 39. The square is 10" x 10". I could have made it smaller but, forgot to bring my measuring tape to work. I could have gone down to 33 stitches but, I'm sure she will find use for the 10" square. :)

The size of the patterns are for squares 11" x 11". Sandy is looking for squares between 7" and 10". Patterns are easily adjustable up or down in size.

Until next time...
