Wheel Stitch Square (Tutorial now in Blog)

[kittyloverdeb]

That's it! I'm going home, getting out my lap-top, my yarn, and my hook and giving this a try using your step by step instructions! I love the way it looks! Is this how you are working the afghan as well? Or is that different?

Deb,

 

The Wheel Stitch Tutorial is just to get you into the mood of the wheel stitch. I don't enjoy joining motifs, although I'm tempted with this one...so I'll be making a rectangular version using this stitch. The only thing different is how you start. Instead of one "wheel" in the center, I'm starting with a string of wheels.

I REALLY needed another project!!! just bookmarked your blog, Thanks for walking me through this....I need all the help I can get!

[hhensler]

Oh! I like that...

[Becky Morgan]

THANK YOU! That square is beautiful and I can imagine a rectangular mile a minute kinda afghan.

[CrochetDad]

I love the square and the blanket you are making.

 

Would this be an easy pattern for a middle rated beginner?

Kathy,

 

I think I would rate this block (and the Wheel Stitch itself) as "Easy" - just one step up from beginner. There are no complicated steps, if I've written the steps properly.

 

It's a very rewarding stitch as you watch the wheels being completed.

Beautiful square! I shall be waiting eagerly to see the finished blanket.

[CrochetDad]

I've posted the tutorial for the wheel stitch block in my blog.

this is a square that you could get lost in.. its so mesmerizing

[sandhyasudhir]

A square with lots of potential. I am thinking of making squares to join to make a bedspread using a neutral colour and a bold colour. Now thats is one project in the making.

[Knittingdoc]

I agree with you. The color possibilites would be endless and definitely brings out the stitch pattern!

Wow, so beautiful!! Looks so complicated and lovely! Great work!

Although not the same exact square (the center was started differently), this multi-color version shows the wheel stitch better.

This is fantabulscious! Love it!!

I love this pattern. I just finished the catherine wheel stitch pattern and made a queen size bedspread. I must admit I love it in the square that you made also. Very neat. I do love those granny square patterns. You can do so much with them!!!
