Looking for 10" afghan squares.

[minkajane]

I'm trying to find 10" afghan squares for a friendship quilt project. I don't have a choice on the size, but I can only seem to find 8" and 12" sizes. Help please!

The simplest thing to do would be to add another couple of rounds of stitches that will take an 8" square to a 10" square.  Possibly 2 rows of dc?  Make a small sample swatch to see if 2 rows of dc is 1", and you will know that 4 rows (2 on one side of the square and 2 on the other) will give you the 2" you need.  If your 2 rows are more than 1", you might try 1 row of dc and 1 row of sc.  Less than 1", try a row of dc and a row of tc.
