I like this pattern,
have used it for other things.
Great choice,
Susan
My square is a perfect match for the original dimensions of 10"x 10"....bigger than the new 9" dimension. Anyone else having this problem?
About the size...hm, one inch is a big difference...did you use the 4.5mm needles and a CO of 79 st?
In my testblock I used 71m of the 90m skein and the block turned out to be 9".
It sounds a bit like a bigger CO. Maybe if you could knit the second one too and measure the edge of the block after let's say...6 rows (3 decreases). Measure from corner to corner, that is from one side of the needle to the corner of the block which appears in the middle.
Could you please try that out? If the CO isn't the problem and the needle isn't, maybe you should try less st to CO.
I'm having size trouble too. I started on 7's with 79 CO and it was huge, I went down to a 6 and now I am at 10'x10'.
I think if I go down to 5's it will be 9'x9'- what do you prefer- a needle size change of less CO?

If you have a sizing problem, please go down (or up) in needle size. As we use the matress stitch to sew the blocks together, we need an equal number of stitches.
Thanks for letting me know!
