Wow, Bev, what an inspiring intro!  I would say more, but an African square is on my hook and calling my name...

Thanks Anne. I am having a great time...not....as of course when I copied and pasted the discussion to here, everything went pear shaped and I am trying to fix it!  xo

I'm checking the pattern  as well. But I see a graph only . How many stitches are needed for the map and the border to achieve a 8x8 square??

That's a tricky question, Diana, as I knit an 8" square and then sew the map on.  :)) 

Perhaps Susanne Leverton, who does intarsia squares maybe able to correctly answer. I am assuming you count how many stitches at the widest part of the graph and then add the amount either side to take it up to the number you would normally have in a square....but I'm just guessing.  :))

Hi Diana.  I cast on between 36 and 38 stitches on 4.5 mm needles....slightly varies according to yarn as not all 8 ply is exactly same thickness from brand to brand.    Hope this helps. Sue

A wonderful intro Bev!

This little monkey is hoping to see lots of African themed items this month, and perhaps a pal to play with on his journey...
