Sewing squares together:

After blocking, put 2 squares together with the wrong sides facing
each other. Use a running stitch along the edge, threading the yarn
back and forth through each stitch. When you get to the “ch 3”
corners, sew the first ch st.

When you unfold the squares, you should see a double


braided texture at the seam.
Assembly

The Cornflower Sweater is meant to be oversized, so the dimensions are not intended to be exact. Choose the
dimensions that you feel suit you best, and don’t be afraid to overshoot the measurements for a draping,
graceful look!
