Mountain Lake Blanket Square

"This pretty ribbed blanket square is a great introduction to post stitches! This 8 inch square was designed to be part of a fall themed afghan. The ribbed texture is worked in rows with post stitches and then the entire square is edged with a round of single crochet stitches so that it is ready to be joined with other squares into blankets, pillows, bags, scarves, and more. Difficulty Level: Intermediate Finished Measurements: About 8 inches square. Yarn: Cascade Yarns Pacific (60% Acrylic, 40% Superwash Merino Wool; 213 yds; 100 g; Worsted Weight/4/Medium): 3 skeins #150 Blue Sapphire will be enough to make 8 of these squares. Crochet Hook: J (6 mm), or size needed to obtain gauge. Notions: 3 stitch markers, tapestry needle. Gauge: 14 sts x 10 rows = About 4 inches square in post stitch ribbing."
