A Day Of Fun

 Yesterday I babysat my grandson.  Fun, he is a blast.  I never thought that having grandchildren would be so great.  There is something different about caring for your grandchildren than when you cared for your children.  I am sure that there are some out there that cringe at the thought of being grandparents.  Not me.  It is wonderful.  I think it has a lot to do with the fact that there is not as much pressure on you to do everything perfect.
  Ok back to the pattern for my second square.

Cast on 34
1) K
2) P
3) K
4) P
5) K 7, P4, (K4,P4) to last 7 K7
6) P3, ( K4,P4) to last 7 K4, P3
7) repeat row 5
8) repeat row 6
9) K3, P1, (K4,P4) to last 6 K3, P3
10) P6, (K4, P4) to last 4 P4
11) repeat row 9
12) repeat row 10
13) K3, P2, ( K4, P4) to last 5 K5
14) P3, K2, (P4, K4) to last 5 P5
15) repeat row 13
16) repeat row 14
as you can now see on the 5th row you will add a purl or knit stitch to the moving rib stitch pattern.
17) K3, P3,( K4, P4) to last 4 K1 P 3
18) P3 K1, ( P4, K4 ) to last 6 P6
19) repeat row 17
20) repeat row 18
21) K3, ( P4,K4) to last 3 K3
22) P7, ( K4,P4) to last 7 P7
23) repeat row 21
24) repeat row 22
keep going in this manner until it reaches 1/2 inch shorter than the length of the first square. then you K 1 row
P 1 row
K 1 row
P 1 row bind off
If you make sure it is the same length as the first square they will all be the same size.
