• Square 2 – Waffle Stitch
• Square 3 – Braided Cable Stitch
• Square 4 – Basket Weave Stitch
• Square 5 – Zig Zag Stitch

Materials Needed

• Yarn in similar color as squares
• Tapestry Needle (if sewing)
• Scissors
• J 6mm Crochet Hook if slip stitching together
• Spray Bottle to wet block
• Steamer to steam block

Construction: Join Squares

Lay squares out on a flat surface. Wet or steam block each square to get any imperfections out. You want each square to lay flat and be about the same size. 

Lay squares out in order you wish. I used 4 colors in all the stitch variations for the throw blanket. See chart on the right for how I laid mine out. 

Use the whip stitch or mattress stitch to sew the squares together. OR you can slip stitch them together like I did. 

To slip stitch squares together. Place squares right side up. Slip stitch in BLO on one square and FLO of other square across entire row using J 5.5mm Crochet Hook. Repeat across each vertical row then across each horizontal row.
