Log Cabin Knitting:
Garter Stitch Squares

Knitted log cabin squares take inspiration from their quilted cousins. Once you know how to make them, you can take off in many directions! We’ll start with the simple garter stitch log cabin square, then discuss the many ways you can use and adapt these squares to make them your own.

YO? YO! Fun and Fancy
Elongated Stitches
