My first mitred squares were weighed so I could see an average weight of yarn needed for each square and I unravelled a couple of them and measured the yarn so I had an idea of how much yarn was needed to knit each square. Instead of decreasing on both sides of a stitch marker, you can also use a central double decrease ( CDD) to decrease the middle. The squares are tested on both the inside and outside faces, our specification for the internal angle is twice as accurate as that specified in the British Standard, an accuracy better than 0.01mm/10mm blade length. Rosewood Mitre square If they run parallel, then the square is angled properly at 90-degrees. If they are not parallel, then the angle is off.

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°.
