Square #16 - Sayid Jarrah

Lostghan Square #16 – Sayid Jarrah
I did this one in a royal purple. The edges of the #16 are rounded off a bit. Sayid doesn’t stay on the straight and narrow, so his number is not squared off like Locke’s.

Gauge – 28 stitches = 6 inches, 36 rows = 6 inches (or 6 rows/inch).

Cast on 28 stitches – use a loose cast-on so the square stays flat. I used the cable cast-on.

Cast off loosely. I use: K2 tog tbl then place stitch back on left needle and repeat. It creates a loose bind off that looks nice as a flat piece.
