I had a few people ask me about making a log cabin square, the one pictured below is crochet. I also know how to loom them, but I crochet much faster, which I need to do- 64 squares for the afghan exchange. While doing the squares on a loom is not hard, to me it is a little time consuming because you have to do a little extra. My version of a log cabin square, you work with balls of yarn and knit straight through. The traditional log cabin, you move the square around an knit as you go. I messed up with the colors on the traditional square- the colors and I forgot to bind off and had to go back do it. Please let me know if I need to change my wording, I hope it is not confusing.

I have been knitting a log cabin baby blanket in two colors with 2 balls of yarn. It looks like a bulls' eye--center rectangle is one color, around it in a square in color 2, then back to around it in a square in color 2. I don't have to change balls very often. Your loom squares look very nice. I like the cornered effect--it looks very nice.
Naomi -
It's down right awesome! I've been thinking a Log Cabin motif was doable, but couldn't get my hands to cooperate. You've done it - bravo!
I like the things you've posted to your blog. Keep it up! :-)
These are really neat but they do look time consuming. But I love to loom. Thanks for showing us.
Congratulations! You've done it ;-) I'm really impressed that you've figured out how to do it on a loom. I can't quite do that yet.

Cool idea! Thanks for sharing.
I like your pattern better than the traditional, it seems to look more togeather.
Thank you so much for your pattern! I now only have to find the time to start making one. Is this only one type of log cabin square?

I think your blog is very nice, wish I had the brains to do some of the wonderful works I have seen. I like the log cabin square which would use up so many of the leftovers I have. Not sure of what the traditional colors are but love the idea behind it.
That's interesting - using intarsia to simulate the mock cabin gives a very neat result
