Notes:<br />
The squares of this modular blanket are worked in a modified log<br />
cabin design. Individual squares are knit, then sewn together and<br />
a border is knit on the edges to finish.<br />
All four square types are shown in diagram form as a guide. You<br />
will be using the same main color in all squares while changing<br />
the contrast color as instructed.<br />
When picking up stitches in the garter stitch along the side of<br />
a square, place one stitch per garter ridge. When picking up<br />
stitches from the bind off or cast on edge, place one stitch per<br />
bound off or cast on stitch. The video detailing the technique<br />
used to pick up and knit stitches can be found at http://tutorials.<br />
knitpicks.com/wptutorials/picking-up-stitches/<br />
When changing colors, bring the new color up underneath the<br />
old color to prevent holes from forming at the sides of the square.<br />

About the Designer<br />
Joyce Fassbender is a biology lecturer in New York City.<br />
She recently got a puppy that she’s training to be a good<br />
knitting dog, but not to knit because, sadly, it can’t hold the<br />
needles. When not playing with the puppy, she’s obsessing<br />
over shawls and lace<br />
