    Yes, bad link for the Box Stitch pattern, but it’s similar to one I’ve made DOZENS of times – it’s a simple K2 P2 basketweave with a border of 5 garter on either side. I can use a pounder skein of yarn and make a nice 3′ x 3-1/2′ afghan with #10 needles. Always gets oohs and aahs from everyone else at the baby shower, too!
