The mitered square knitting pattern is great for beginners. You can turn them into a dishcloth, a baby blanket or even a full afghan. The basic idea is really simple:
Cast on an even number of stitches
Row 1: knit across and place a stitch marker in the exact center
Row 2: knit until two stitches before the marker, k2tog, slip marker, SSK, and knit remaining stitches
repeat these two rows until there are only two stitches left
Break the yarn, thread the end on a tapestry needle and pull it through the remaining two stitches

There are, however, more ways to knit a mitered square. You can also decrease with k2tog before and after the marker or switch the decreases. You can also cast on an uneven number and always decrease the center-most 3 stitches with k3tog. Or you can knit them the other way round by only casting on one stitch and increasing with a centered double increase.

When it comes to joining mitered squares together, you will need a tapestry needle. You can join them using mattress stitch (edge to edge) or by grafting stitches (cast-on to cast-on) or you use a special method to join the cast-on edge to the edge stitch of two mitered squares.
You can also pick up stitches from the edge stitches instead of seaming.
