Charity Square for Fallen US Troops

[Cookie Hooker]

I didn't know were to put this. I was very proud of the design. As a "beginner" crocheter I thought it turned out nicely! I love Celtic knots, which inspired me on this one.

 

 

 

I learned on this one... cut your ends LONG... hehe... I didn't do a good job of weaving in... but my next will be better.

This is BEAUTIFUL! Where did you find that pattern? Did you design it too?

I would say after seeing that you are no longer a beginner

That is one spectular square

Great job

There really isn't a pattern. I just made it up and didn't really write things down ... another thing I learned I need to do!!

 

With the first color (red) I just chained 16 and joined with a sl st, then dbl each chain, tied off. Then did the same with the second color (blue), but before I joined the chain, I wove it into the first circle, dbl in each ch, then tied off.

 

I joined them using the same method as the Yo-Yo square (I think there is a CAL). Then I but the border on.... Finished size was 12'

 

 

It looked really crappy until I blocked it. I had almost decided not send it. But I think it blocked nicely.

 

This was my FIRST afghan square ever!

 

There is a square out there called "waldo's square" and I want to make that one next it uses 4 circles, not two... I'm thinking I might use a 4-patch pattern rather than 9-patch.

 

Thanks for all your encouragement!!

I can't believe this is your first square - it's so nice! I'm going to try it! Thanks for sharing the instructions!

[ksknits]

That pattern is stunning! Believe me, you are no beginner. I hope you share the pattern with us.

I agree- you sure don't look like a beginner to me!
