This is a great pattern, because it is easy and can be done with little thought. I can just sit and work on the squares. I am making a bedspread for her Shabby Chic room, so lots of colors, and big. It will take me a while to finish, but I will keep updating progress. So far, I LOVE it!
Here is the pattern:
R1:Chain three, join with a slip stitch. Chain two (count as first dc), dc seven in the circle.
R2:Switch color, join anywhere. Chain two (count as first dc), dc in same stitch, two dc in next stitch, chain two, repeat around the circle for a total of 16 dc and 8 ch.
R3: Switch color, join in one of the two chain spaces. Chain two (count as first dc), one more dc in the chain two space. Dc in the next three stitches. Two dc in the two chain space, chain two, two more dcs in the two chain space. Repeat until you get back to the beginning, sl st in the first ch two dc.
R4: Switch color, join in one of the two chain spaces. Chain two (count as first dc), one more dc in the chain two space. Dc in the next six stitches. Two dc in the two chain space, chain two, two more dc in the two chain spaces. Repeat until you get back to the beginning, sl st in the first ch two dc.
R5: Switch color (I put white on R5, then joined all the squares with white), join in one of the two chain spaces. Chain two (count as first dc), one more dc in the chain two space. Dc in the next nine stitches. Two dc in the two chain space, chain two, two more dc in the two chain space. Repeat until you get to the beginning, sl st in the first ch two dc.
Work in all ends. I will post later this week how I join my squares. There are lots of different ways, I just have one way I like. Check back to see it.
If you make these squares, please post a link so I can see them!!!
