[(sc, ch 2, sc) in same stitch, skip 2 stitches]. In corners I worked (sc,

|

Size: 55" x 65"
Basic granny squares made by various S4S members, most by CarolH. This
went to the Hites.
Method:
1)
All the squares were granny
squares made by different people. Some had 9 rounds, some had 10, some had
11, and a couple even had 12. A few of the squares needed to be resized but
most were fine.
2) sc equal number of stitches on each side of
each square. I decided on 38 as my magic number (not including corners).
3) join with a whipstitch into 5-square columns.
4) put a second sc border around each column and join those with a
whipstitch.
5) put a border around the whole thing. I went with a (sc, ch 2, sc)
in every third stitch to give it a little bit of a fancier edging. In
corners I used (sc, ch 2, sc, ch 2, sc).
6) weave in all the tails
That completed the afghan.
Then I washed it in Woolite on gentle wash cycle, dried it in the dryer on
low to medium heat, packed it up and mailed it with delivery confirmation
