Shades Of Autumn Granny Throw

Lion Brand® Sock-EaseTM

GAUGE:

Square = about 3 in. (7.5 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Wawo Sunkan you are a darling. Dear I have done this throw in different combinations. It was used like a carpet in my native. But dont know where it is because whenever I go to native it wont be there. May be my mother has kept it somewhere :) nice one dear. These granny squares create wonders in anything. May be a shawl, a throw, poncho anything.

Sunkan, you and Pranati are very good at knitting. I wanted to knit a sweater for my daughter from when I was pregnant, but until now i haven't found anyone who could teach me. I have no idea about knitting and I haven't done it before, how can I start with it? Atleast I want to knit a scarf if not a sweater. can u help me?
