Notes

Mochi Plus is yarn that I inherited from my sister’s stash. She passed away on 2.26.2012 from Stage IV breast cancer and was an avid knitter and eager stasher. I wanted to knit something that would last over time and be used a lot, but especially out in the open where I would be reminded of her every time I see it.

Blocking the squares to 12” x 12” instead of 13.5”.

Each ball of Mochi Plus gave me 7 of those mini-mitered blocks.
