Mitred Squares in Riot

Many, many years ago, I saw the most fabulous knitted jacket in reds, purples and blues. It is the project that brought me back to knitting. Eeek, I've just realised it would have been 20 years ago!

Now I have to the time and inclination to make that jacket. More accurately, a similar jacket. I'm pretty sure the jacket I saw was made using triangles, and I'm going to use mitred squares. 

Cast on 30sts in yarn A (King Cole Riot DK Rhapsody).

1. Knit 15st, place stitch marker. K15.

2. Switch to yarn B (King Cole Riot DK Party), Knit to 2 stitches before marker, K2tog, K2tog, K to end.

3. Knit.

4. Switch to yarn. Knit to 2 stitches before marker, K2tog, K2tog, K to end.

5. Knit.

Repeat this pattern until there are 2 stitches left. Then knit the two stitches together.

Make a second square, and then pick up the stitches on the sides of the squares to form a new square.
