The Scaffold Square is an amazing knitted object that can become SO many things! When unbuttoned, it is a simple square featuring an easy garter stripe motif. Strategically placed buttonholes and buttons along the border give the Scaffold Square its transformative abilities. Knit it up in your favorite luxury worsted weight yarn or choose a synthetic blend for rougher wear and tear. Square is given in three sizes.

Scaffold Square is worked from the center-out in the round and is completed with a wide garter border and an i-cord bind-off. Center-out is a fun way to work and makes for long,relaxing rounds in knit and purls. Instructions include the one-row buttonhole and additional tips for working center-out in the round. If you’ve never knit anything center-out, this is an ideal first-time project!

The Scaffold Square transforms into various cardigans, shrugs, wraps and shawl styles. There are so many possibilities. Use it as a blanket to wrap your wee one, an instant picnic spot or your go-to “Snuggie” in a chilly house.
