Maureen (Maudie) Anne Bryan said… Hi Yvonne. I have just started knitting diagonal squares. It is great if you have different ply wool and finally perfect the stitches and needles for 8" square and then the ply is different on the next one. It is just a matter of casting on one at the beginning of each row until the two sides on your tri-angle measure 200mm or 8" then you start to cast off. One stitch at the beginning of each row.
