[Nfb-krafters-korner] mitered squared was another question about yarn colors

[Annette Carr]

I know about knitted mitered squared, but I believe that you can also
crochet them.  

A mitered square is worked from one corner to the other.  It ends up looking
like 2 triangles placed together so that their longest sides are touching.
You will find a line that runs diagonally from one corner to the one
diagonally from it. 

There are a number of ways to make a mitered square.  One way is as follows:

If you want to make a 6 inch square and your gauge is 5 stitches per inch,
you would cast on 61 stitches.  30 of these stitches will make up one edge
and 30 stitches will make up one of the adjacent edges.  1 stitch will be
the corner between the 2 adjacent edges.  As you work the rows, you decrease
on either side of the center stitch.  You will continue decreasing until 3
stitches remain.  The ends of your rows are making up the other 2 edges of
the square.  Making a mitered square is one of those situations where you
have to trust your pattern and you will be rewarded at the end.  

HTH,
Annette
