Looking for a knitting project to keep your hands busy while joining fans around the world to watch the beautiful game? These modular garter-stitch squares are perfect. Each square celebrates a team that qualified for the tournament.

I’ll be knitting additional squares when the competition reaches the knockout rounds—one square for each team that progresses, ending with one big square for the champions.
