This square was the most difficult for me. I’d never knitted leaves before and when reading the chart, I cast on a stitch for yo, so I ended up with the wrong number of stitches a couple of times in a row before it hit me like a bolt of lightning and I was able to complete it. In hindsight, I have to wonder what I was thinking, but am happy to have figured it out.


This square is made up of cables from the Great American Aran Afghan (GAAA) book. The leaves by Judy Sumner (Chart B) are framed with Ann Strong’s Double Texture Cables (Chart A).

I plan to try leaves again soon using wool…..in green, I think. :)
