repeat until you have a 6" square. 

Change col. every 2nd row of stripe on the last stitch of previous row. 

A double row stripe gives a more defined stripe.

If you use a space dyed yarn for the second col. then you will have a lot more colours in your square and only used 2 yarns 

JOINING SQUARES
Stitch squares together in the same direction or alternate the stripes 90degs.
or you could use your favourite joining stitch.

Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.
