More knitted squares

... though I think you could use felted squares for this too ... or knit 'em big and then felt 'em ... or make them out of those old sweaters you've (I've) been saving for some project or other...
Melody Johnson says on her blog that these are often seen on knitting sites and in pattern books. Indeed I found instructions here and here, but haven't dug out any wool to start knitting. Melody wonders why anyone would want to sew the squares together, and has devised a pattern to knit them - as socks - all in one go.

I'm intrigued by the possibilities of squares (or rectangles) becoming sculptural objects. Consider the "humbug" -
