Pattern for a Leo square. This square forms the third of a collection to make a zodiac or star sign afghan. Great as a dishcloth, washcloth or with other squares to form a blanket or afghan. There are lots more free knitted square patterns available on my website.

Both chart and written pattern are included and are very easy - just knit and purl stitches.

Finished square:

using DK (light worsted weight) yarn and 4 mm - US6, UK8 - needles approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)

using Worsted weight yarn and 4.5 mm knitting needles (US size 7, UK size 7) finished square is approximately 26 cm x 26 cm (10 inches x 10 inches)

Of course you can use any plain yarn with the manufacturers recommended needle size, but if it is a different weight yarn it will change the size of the square. Light, plain coloured yarns show up the image best.

This square is the same size as my other free squares - together they could make a fantastic afghan!
