For the second square, leave the stitch on the needle. While looking at the front of your work, pick up and knit 7 stitches along the left side of the diamond, then using the knitted cast on, cast on 8. - 16 sts in all
Repeat the 14 rows above.


You can knit a strip like this and use it as an edging.

Here are the pics of the hat i made using mitered corners. I made 6 of the squares, joined them together then knitted up 80 sts. The top was formed by sewing up 4 sets of 20 stitches to form the star points.

This was fun!
