ABOUT THE PATTERN
This booklet is supplementary to the TRIANGLES Book. It uses the charts and instructions from the book.
However, the aim of the book is to create garments in any size and shape, to fit the required body measurments.
The aim of this booklet is to take these ideas further, but by creating the perfect square, with any yarn and machine, which then enables the creation of a great variety of garments and other items from these squares.
The booklet contains 16 designs, with full instructions for how to create them.
You may like to create your own design, and I give you all the tools you need to do this .
Above are examples of six ways you can use the squares, but the possiblilities of different designs and constructions are endless.
For each example I give you all the information about how they were made and knitting notes, to help you if you wish to make the same type of garment.
The skills you will need are the same as for the book - the use of holding position and picking up stitches from an edge, or stitches held on waste yarn. Full instructions for how to do this are in the TRIANGLES book.
Some garments may require 'Cut and Sew' techniques, but these are fully described, including how to create a 'Cut and Sew' neckline for a sweater or cardigan.
EQUIPMENT
Can be made on any flat bed machine able to create 'short rowing' (holding position). A ribber is not necessary, but if you have one, you have more options for finishing a garment.
SIZING
Full instructions are given, for how to create the garment or item in any size you like, based on the squares.
MATERIALS
Any yarn suitable to your machine and the garment or item you wish to make.
