further 50 stitches (100 stitches).
Repeat rows as for Block 1.
Make columns of 4 or 7 blocks and sew columns together.
Or, alternatively, to avoid having to sew the columns up, using a completed column of 4
or 7 squares, begin 2nd column:1st block cast on 50 stitches and then pick up 50 stitches along the right edge of the first square of the first column.
Knit a new square.
2nd block: pick up 50 stitches along the top edge of the square just completed and 50 stitches from the side of the 2nd square in the first column.
Knit a new square.
Continue with this process until all 28 squares have been completed.
Please be sure to sew in all loose ends.
