Eyelet Tulips Sampler Afghan Square

[49st x 58 rows; 45sts would have been better]

Pattern: Vogue Knitting Stitchionary

In order to make this a better fit I would next time cast on 45 sts and work as follows:

CO 45
Edges: slip 1st st pwise, p last of every row, and 3 sts in seed st for a total of 4 sts worked on each edge.
Work the first and last 2 rows in seed stitch for a top and bottom border.

Follow the pattern rows as written like this:

Work rows 24-36
Work rows 1-36 once
Work rows 1-5

It's close to being too tall.
