pattern used:
hook used:
- pattern calls for 5.0mm... I used a 4.0mm
yarn used:
- pattern calls for 10ply... I used an assortment of 8ply/DK weight reclaimed yarns
- rounds 1, 2 and 3 - maroon
- round 4 and 5 - dark burgundy
- rounds 6 and 7 - maroon
- rounds 8, 9 and 10 - dark burgundy
- rounds 11 and 12 - river gum green
- round 13 - cream
- round 14 - mid blue
- round 15 - navy
- round 16 - oatmeal
- round 17 - dark burgundy
- round 18 - omitted... already large enough
thoughts:
- I love this square, but it is very bulky... honestly not sure if it will be suitable as part of the afghan or not
- might make a cushion out of it instead
- interestingly... I used a smaller hook and finer yarn than the pattern called for... and I still had to omit the last round, because I had already reach my 12 inches
- the flower part of this would look fabulous as an embellishment on a bag
- I found this video below which might come in helpful if you find the rose instructions confusing
This square is my favourite one so far. Love it purps.
