Thank you so much Rebecca. Well, you knit beautiful hats and squares, we all do what we can, crochet is the best technique for me. xo

Hi Rachel.  Second attempt to reply...first one failed earlier today.  For my regular squares I cast on 35 stitches for 8 ply yarn using 4 mm needles.  For my diagonals I cast on 2 sritches...knit them, then in every row thereafter I increase 1 stitch at the beginning only of every row, by knitting into the front and back of the first stitch.   Continue til you have 44 stitches. Knit 1 row. Then commence decreasing at the beginning of each row...knit first stitch, slip 2 nd stitch knit 3 rd stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over.  Continue til 2 stitches remain, knit 2 together.    ( ps.... I think there are a lot of neater knitters than me)

Hi Rachel, thank you so much. It is crochet it is in the KAS "members patterns".

Thanks Rachel, I enjoyed making the squares but so wish my sewing skills were better:))

Thanks Rachel. It's almost finished. I might add a pom-pom ??

Here is close up of the yarn - pink & lavender -. It's pretty and soft.

No yet . I thought it was too small but Christine J. who is guiding me through it, says that looks OK, almost like hers. Here is my hat in progress:

Hi Rachel,

I accept with pleasure. / diana

Hi,

The twisted rib - k2|p2 + p1 - like my last handwarmers. I started with 60 stitches but it looks small to me. This is my first attempt to make a hat. I think my yarn is not thick enough, but is pink!!
