The Square Collection – Christmas Tree

 

The squares worked in DK measure about 4 ½” square – and the larger ones 8” square.  You could use 3 strands of DK together – working on 8mm knitting needles – and the square will be bigger

You will need;

1 strand of double knitting to be worked on 4mm knitting needles – about 12g

Or 2 strands of double knitting (equal to chunky weight yarn) to be worked on 6mm knitting needles – about 20g

• If you are using the double knitting weight of yarn, then use 2 strands together throughout.
• If you are using the chunky weight of yarn, then use 1 strand throughout.
• Remember to count all the rows as you work up the square.
