This new Mitered square makes a great coaster for your glass of fresh lemonade or your afternoon cup of coffee or tea. It also makes for a pretty washcloth, as you can see in the photos…

A soft organic cotton is the perfect yarn for this and there are great color combinations available at Yarnz2go. Knitted in the round it decreases towards the middle which gets a pretty circular stitch treatment with the main color yarn at the very end, a nice accent indeed.

The final dimensions are 9” by 9”. The pattern is fully written.

Yarn
Two skeins of organic cotton, 125 yards each in a DK weight which is enough to make a couple of squares in two contrasting colors. Knit kits at Yarnz2go
