Landyn Tahj
Square
Regardless of skill level, please read through entire pattern BEFORE beginning.
Landyn Tahj is the sixth square in a series designed as a legacy for my grandchildren. Landyn has a wicked sense of
humor, is highly spirited, and does not hesitate to voice his opinion. He has lots of sharp edges but the biggest heart you
will ever know. Oh, and he LOVES basketball!

Special Instructions
Instructions for ALL rounds start with a standing stitch and end with an invisible join to 2nd st of rnd, and
fasten off. If not changing colors, you can opt to finish the previous rnd with a slip stitch join and use the
appropriate "ch" or "chainless starting stitch" to begin the next round. Keep in mind that if you choose the slip
stitch end, the "ch" or "chainless starting stitch" will replace the first standing st of the round.

Blocking is a great way to put the finishing touches on your square. It allows you to reach your final shape and size. It
also opens up your stitches, making them even and more defined; giving it a more professional appearance. You can
either wet block or steam block, but always make sure you are careful when steam blocking acrylic yarn.
