30-sq entrelac cube from edge diagram with cube edges

30-sq entrelac cube from edge diagram with cube edges Originally uploaded by fuzzyjay

This diagram shows a little better how the squares form a cube. The edges of the cube are superimposed over the squares that form the faces of the cube. The cube is made up of 30 entrelac squares. That makes 5 squares per face of the cube. Of course, 5 squares don't fit evenly into another square, so each face of the cube is made of 1 full square and 8 partial squares. The squares that lie entirely on one face of the cube are numbers 5, 9, 15, 20, 24, and 28 when the cube is knitted from the edge like this. If you knit the cube with 2 colors of yarn according to the diagram, opposite squares have the same color (5 and 28, blue; 9 and 24, blue; 15 and 20, pink).
