There’s a special satisfaction in knitting a project from small, portable pieces, and this classic Four Squares Flower Afghan pattern is built exactly that way.

It’s a lovely take-along vintage knitting pattern for anyone who prefers small squares over one large piece, and the finished afghan — trimmed with soft fringe along the short ends — makes a timeless handmade gift or a cozy addition to any living room or nursery.

Construction: Each of the 48 squares is worked flat from a 3-stitch cast-on, increasing at both edges with paired yarn overs to shape a raised center flower motif, then decreasing back down to 3 stitches; finished squares are joined so the raised petal sections meet to form the flower, then edged in single crochet with fringe added to the short ends.
Finished Measurements: 44″ x 60″.

Stitches: Knit, purl, yarn over, knit 2 together, slip-knit-pass decrease, single crochet edging.
