Craft Time! EPAA Square 1: Carol Adams

EPAA Carol Adams

See the introduction to the Epic Pink Aran Afghan here.

This was not the first square I completed, but since I didn't really write down the order in which I had done my squares and only vaguely recollect which were early as opposed to more recent, I figured I would use the order the squares are being worked in the Knit Along for this afghan in the JimmyBeansWool group on Ravelry.

I actually remember the process for knitting this one pretty well since it was the first time I had done a reversible cable.  I wish the center was something more interesting than simple lace diamonds, but hey, given how busy the rest of the afghan is, it works anyway.

I used the recommended needle size of US6 (4mm) and my square is a bit small at about 10.5 inches square. It stretches to the full 12" just fine though so I'm not worried about it going into the afghan.  All of my squares are knit with Cascade 220 superwash, which is a bit thinner than regular cascade 220.  I'm not sure I would really call it a worsted so if you are using a true worsted the size of the square would likely come out more true.  This is a very easy square with only basic increases and decreases and even though it's reversible, a simple cable.
