Every crochet stitch now writes a complete square

The crochet stitch pages used to give you a few rows to repeat. Each one now writes a whole square, such as a washcloth or an afghan square, in US terms, on the page and in the PDF.

Sizes and gauge

Choose a 6, 8, 10 or 12 inch square, or set your own width and length. The edging counts toward the finished size, and the row count is worked out from your gauge so the piece comes out square. As always, swatch first: these numbers are only right at your gauge.
