Thank you for sharing these!

I decided to just jump in. ONce I got going, it became obvious how it transforms into a square. I prefer knitting with circular needles, so I love this pattern! My first square came out great! I hope to have a few more ready to donate to the Knit-a-thon.

If you have any additional square patterns for circulars, I hope you will post them.

Thanks again,
Pauline

So sorry it took so long to get back to you! You really are not missing anything, you cast on (the outer perimeter) and decrease just like the top of a hat. Because you are not knitting a tube before you start decreasing it lays flat.   Amy McElwain

I particularly like the Lacy Blanket Square and the Lacy Leaves Blanket Square. I think I’m missing something. I don’t understand why you use circular needles for the squares. Also, at a few points it looks as if you are decreasing stitches (more like the crown of a hat). I’m hoping you can explain this to me — I’m just not picturing how this works. Thanks.
