Square #3. Finally, a break from the giant ball of pink yarn. This was made from some yarn I had left over from my Latifa Scarf project (when I apparently bought enough yarn for two full scarves but only made one).

The pattern is really more of a formula: cast on enough stitches for two sides of your square, decrease two stitches in the middle every other row, and voila–mitered square. Unfortunately, my gauge was off (read: I didn’t check my gauge), so the square ended up being 1/2 inch too large. But it’s a mitered square, so no problem! I just frogged the first few rows (along the long, two-sided edge), then bound off that edge. Easy peasy.
