THE SQUARE CHECK
(This is some superwash stash and the bit of white is some mohair that really didn’t belong in there! lol)
You can see the loops at the top of the square where I carried the yarn over two nails. They are not outrageously large but can’t be left as the edge but must be disguised somehow, in seam or edging. The tri*s don’t have this problem, or rather, it disappears when they are chained off. But here is the way I wove the square and maybe one of you can come up with a solution. I know you can cut and weave ends but I really really hate doing that unless there is no way around. And I think I’d rather go with the tri squares first! How’s that for lazy?
Weave two rows straight of each color, carrying the yarns along the side.
Twist the yarns bringing the new color up under the last one. Do this each time.
The carries will look like this along the edge.
The center will not come out even, either. I ran one dark through the two final red. You may see a better way to do this.

re: the loops: it depends on what you’re planning to do with the square as to what you do with the edges…could you treat them the same way that you treat the hypotenuse of a triangle by chaining the loops? or if you’re going to join them with other squares, use a stitch that allows you to hide the loops… I just did a similar square & wove up to 5 of the same color & didn’t do the cut & tie thing that you mentioned, but the way things work out with this particular square is that it will be stitched in such a way that the floating yarn will not show & then felting will carry it a step further…(felting may cause the colors to merge in such a way that you can’t really distinguish them, we’ll see!
