Mitered squares are knitting's answer to crocheted granny squares. This modular knitting project is ideal to carry with you on the go, since the squares are small and take up very little space in your bag. Those who knit and crochet will be glad to know that you can join mitered squares together into afghans or bags the same way you join granny squares. When working with variegated yarn, mitered squares can help prevent color pooling.

The overhand knot is one of the most common and most basic knots. Although this knot is not decorative, it is a highly functional knot.

Tying an overhand knot is very similar to the knot that you tie when you tie your shoes.
