N Square Pattern

'N' square

Welcome back, it's been a while.

It has been quite a while since I posted the M square, I've had such a busy few months. I do apologise but aim to have the rest of the patterns test knitted & blogged as quickly as possible.

Having test knitted the N square (as in the photo) I decided I didn't like how the offset in the up stroke of the N looked, so I have edited the pattern so yours will go up in a straight line.


Please do me the courtesy of a pattern credit should you make an item to sell on. The pattern itself may not be sold in any part or form. 

I have used double knit yarn on UK size 3.25mm needles to keep the pattern tight, you can use 4mm if you prefer. Finished square is approx 7.5"/19cm square.

Abbreviations:  K-Knit. P-Purl. St-Stitch/s. Rep-Repeat. Moss Stitch- K1,P1 to end.

'O' square coming next....

You can use any thickness of yarn, just use the needles suggested on the ball band (or slightly smaller for a tighter pattern). Using a thinner yarn & needles will result in a smaller square. Also if you prefer, knit the border instead of using moss stitch. Just knit rows 1-6 & rows 56-61 & knit the first 6 & last 6 stitches on each row instead of K1,P1. 

Happy Knitting
