This afghan is composed of mitered squares. Each half of the mitered square is worked using intarsia. The units are picked up one from another and the design can be worked concentrically, or vertically. Like magic, the squares are added one to another, and the entire blanket is knitted without ever breaking the yarn. Each mitered square is outlined with a lovely braided-look edge, creating a crisp visual line between each and every square. If you’re ready to take your mitered square knitting to the next level, then this blanket is for you!
