In the last step, you knit the first square (which is #9 in the picture from several posts ago) in column 2. Now the squares get so easy. All you do is pick up 22 stitches from the top of the last square, just like you did in the first column for Squares 2-8. Then you pick up a center stitch, which I have pictured for you. This is the top stitch of the center decrease ridge. Then you pick up 22 stitches on the side like we just did in Steps 2 and 3 for the first square in this column. Now you have all the basic steps for constructing your afghan.
