This pattern is called Chris Simon’s Birthday Flower Pattern- 12 in square.

This was a fun pattern to work with. It went pretty fast and it is so pretty when worked up and put together.

 

 

I was so busy making stuff for everyone else I hadn’t made anything for me. So this is going to be my present to me. I started it right after Christmas. Actually I had my Grandmother in mind when I made it. She passed a way from Breast Cancer and lavender was always her favorite color. Even though she is gone it is hard not to remember her.

 

I hope you all like it.

Thank you everyone. I am really glad you like it. I made several of the squares before I had the colors the way I wanted it. At first I was going to do it all in solid lavender. But it just didnt look right. So I ended up with this. It's new home is on the back of my sofa. It looks pretty nice if I may say so.

Hello Rosemary,

I am so glad you liked it and interested in making one like it. It was a lot of fun to work up.

I used all Red Heart yarn. I like the touch and feel of the Red Heart yarn. The colors I used were-

0358 Lavender, The variegated one is 0318 Watercolor, and also 0316 Soft White.

I listed the link to the pattern in my first post. If you have anymore questions just let me know and I would be glad to help you.

Big hugs to you, Shella, for answering my question. I have been practising today with plain yarn, just to learn the square. My practise ones may be sent to Crafting for A Cause if they turn out ok.

 

If all goes well, I will get the proper yarn this week for the real thing. I am only on round four of the practise square , we shall see.

Hugs to you.
