Can you give examples of achieving an 8 x 8″ square using different knitting needles sizes, number of stitches and yarn weights?
Yes, many of the knit-a-square community have described their crochet and knitted square results as collected wisdom here. It will confirm that the same sizes and reasonable thickness are being achieved in a number of different ways. Finally there are so many different squares arriving in South Africa, it has not been hard for the volunteers to mix and match sufficient squares to ensure an equally weighted and yarn type blanket. So in the end, knit or crochet with whatever you have, make it warm and 8 x 8″ and send it. Thank you. Collected wisdom of the knit-a-square community to April 2009.
