with the squares i have got my 9 yr old son knitting 20sts Double knitting wool for 20 ridges each side if you know what i mean.
so if anyone wants to give him a hand please feel free :rotfl:HINT HINT

these are the ones shellys son are doing for preemies uk at the mo so if you do them to that spec she can add them to the ones hes doing. further up on this page she has mentioned they should be done on 4mm needles

different groups ask for different sizes so its just a case of checking on the first page for the guidelines of who wants what size.

hope this helps

Knitting 20 sts by 40 rows (20 ridges each side) I get a square that is 4 inches, very quick and easy to do, especially on journeys, unless I have got it wrong lol!

Shez do you like a long tail left for sewing up? and well done to your son for knitting too :T

:rolleyes2 I know babies are more important, but searching for a dog I came across
http://www.nawt.org.uk/watford/news_show.asp?id=61 - they are in need of blankets and such things. I thought it might be a good way of using up really awful combinations of odds and ends of yarn!

Hi all,
Have read somewhere that they need to be 7" squares, and also 8" squares knitted on 4mm needles?

Do you just fold in half then turn a cuff up?
