Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm waiting on one more person to verify if they're going to do this, so I figured I would post the pattern and an accompanying pic and tell you how many when I find out. Pattern is as follows:

Needles: 8 US/5.00mm knitting needles or size needed to obtain gauge

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver or other worsted weight acrylic

Gauge: 17 sts over 4 inches. Go up or down a needle size if it's not right as gauge is important for this. If you can't get it to work, knit a swatch, measure over four inches, divide by 4, then multiply that number by 5 to get how many stitches to cast on.

Cast on 19 stitches. Work in garter stitch until square (check by lifting one corner to the upper opposite corner; if it all matches up, it's time to bind off). Bind off. Weave in ends.

Arrange the squares so that the garter stitch "lines" are perpendicular to the one below it and next to it. Sew four squares like this to form a pinwheel shape. Make twenty eight squares for a total of seven pinwheels.

Pic:

It should look something like that.




Since I'm waiting on one person, you can start knitting when you want. I'll post how many squares/pinwheels to make when I find out. In the meantime, save your yarn ends if you want, so you can make scrap yarn! weave the ends together using a Russian join, and wind it into a ball. When you have enough, you can make something with it! Pic tutorial here; video tutorial here.

Heard from the last person so square amounts are up now. Yay!

Sure, I'll incorporate some of the squares you make into the afghan. Make sure the squares are 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches square, and they'll fit.

Edit: I think it works out to that anyways. I'll have to dig up some already made squares and measure.
