This pattern will enable you to construct crocheted, diagonal squares with the woven stitch as dish clothes, or units to join together for making an afghan or blanket.

I’ve designed this pattern specially for Knit-A-Square, a charity organization that accepts knit and crocheted squares that are made into blankets for abandoned babies and AIDS orphans in Africa. If you wish to contribute by sending your creations, please check their website : http://www.knit-a-square.com and facebook group : https://www.facebook.com/Knitasquare/

A diagonally constructed square will always be of perfect size and shape, no matter what yarn or hook you are using!

The square size is approximatively 20x20 cm (8 ‘’x 8’’). You adapt this size according to your personal taste, or even make a one giant square out of it. Looking forward to seeing your creations!
