pattern used:
hook used:
- pattern calls for a 5.5mm hook... I used a 4.0mm hook
yarn used:
- pattern calls for 10ply... I used an assortment of 8ply/DK weight reclaimed yarns
- rounds 1 and 2 - dark burgundy
- round 3 - cream
- round 4 - oatmeal
- rounds 5 and 6 - brown and white fleck
- round 7 - cream
- round 8 - river gum green
- round 9 - mid blue
- round 10 - navy
- round 11 - river gum green
- added an extra round of dc - burgundy
thoughts:
- don't really know why I used such a small hook for this... I don't even think I checked the pattern for size before I started
- anyway, it meant I had to add an extra round to bring it up to size
- round 12 - worked a dc into each stitch of previous round, (2dc, ch2, 2dc) at corners
- don't panic if your shape is looking VERY unsquare at the end of round 5... keep following the pattern and it will sort itself out in round 6
- this is a perfectly likable square... it just feels quite bland after the exquisite irish rose I showed you yesterday
This is going to be a gorgeous afghan. I can't wait to build my reclaimed stash enough to do one of these.
