A set square is used in technical drawing, providing a straightedge at a right angle or another particular planar angle to a baseline. They are commonly made from clear plastic. The most common set squares are 45° squares, (one 90° corner and two 45° corners) and 60/30 triangles (a 90°, a 60° and a 30° corner). Another type of set square is an adjustable square, which features an edge that can be adjusted to any angle from 0° to 90°. [19] [20]I used two 3.25mm (US 3) 20cm (8″) long Clover Takumi bamboo double pointed needles. You need to have the double points.

This is so handy when the blanket is being put away after you’ve finished knitting on it.
