Double Square Pillow

A traditional quilt motif is possible in knitting, through the magic of the mitered square. Self-patterning Uptown DK Magix adds a modern look with the splash of color changes, while the strong diagonal line of the centered double decreases look like crosshatch quilted lines. You can try planning the color changes specifically to correspond with each mitered square, but we think it's more fun to just let the colors land where they will. In the sample shown, no care was given to color placement of the Magix color changes.
