Mostly Mitered Squares

Because I have many baby item commitments, I decided to do a quick blanket so I could finish up other a few other things already on the needles. Instead of knitting a mitered squares blanket (because that would take longer), I searched for and found a crochet version.

Everything made sense logically with the pattern: finding the center, creating a 90-degree angle, decreasing 3 stitches in the same spot. But somehow, my squares looked more like triangles and they ended up way smaller than the pattern indicated.

Ah, well. Nothing I hoped a little blocking wouldn't cure. It worked -- sort of:


Hopefully, the dad who asked for the blanket won't mind. I'm sure the baby couldn't care less.
