Slainte Mhath! pronounced SLANtchih va is the toast meaning Good Health that we see Jamie Fraser using over over again in the Outlander series.

The pattern suggests worsted weight cotton and that will yield a square that is approximately 8-9” depending on the knitters gauge.

It can be made smaller by using DK weight cotton yarn and appropriate size needles to get a nice tight knit to make the stitches pop. The same is true for a larger size for a pillow or throw. Use thicker yarn and appropriate size needles to yield a close knit fabric.

Happy Knitting!
