I'm glad that it is working out for you. Rnds 7 & 11 are supposed to have the extra dc in the corner. When you fpdc the two fptr together you lose a stitch, so this is where I added it back in so the pattern would remain symetrical. Hope that make sense.

 

I hope that you will post a picture of yours when you get it done. It sounds amazing.

I've been planning on making a few of these for a few days now. The pattern is so striking.

 

Thanks so much!!

I will try this out once the games are over. If I can make it I might make one for my mom in hopes to help her deal with my grandmas death 6 years ago. It might just help me too.

Thank you for the lovely square pattern. I will enjoy making this one for sure.

Neat pattern! Very creative!

[shelley1957]

I have four more squares to go and mine turned out to be 14 inches i am making 12 squares total once it is done i will get pics and post them. Does anyone have a pretty way to attach squares instead of the sc attaching

bearangel-I tried to send you a pm to answer your question, but it said that you aren't accepting pm's.

 

On Row 4, you will skip over the first three stitches, work a fptr in the 4th stitch, then you have to go back and work in the first three stitches that you just skipped.

 

Let me know if that answers your question or not.

hmmm or perhaps...or even...

so many ideas...so little time!!

I finally worked up my dishcloth. I also did the 12" version in white acrylic for a comfortghan that another 'ville member is working on. I noticed that a lot of people have trouble with this square.. I had trouble on row 4 at first.. but figured it out pretty quickly once I started the second side. If it helps at all, I wanted to share pictures with everyone that might be interested.

 

Row 4 says, "fptr around next fpdc" (this is a picture of where that stitch is placed- left handed would be working from opposite direction pictured):

 

Then, "working “behind” fptr just made, dc in joining st and next 2 dc" (this is self explanitory so I didn't take a picture).

 

Next working “over” fptr, fptr around fpdc on this same side of square (this makes the cross over part of the ribbon)" (this is where this stitch is placed, but hook would be inserted from other side):

 

 

And here is my finished dishcloth:

 

I did it in peach (could only find variegated) cotton, because that is the color for ovarian cancer awareness... I am gifting this to a friend of mine who is a survivor.

 

I hope my pictures helped at least a little

Thank you so much for posting the pictures. Hopefully, that will help with any confusion. I know that it is very confusing to think about crocheting forward, then going backwards, then going forwards again, but like you said, once you figure it out it is really pretty easy.

[thepunkrockinchick]

I am SO glad you didn't mind But I know there are a few people out there who aren't able to make this square, because it can be a little confusing if you aren't used to it. My first side came out wrong and then after I did the second side it was very clear. Thanks again for not minding me posting a little tutorial

Thank you for this square...you could make it in yellow for the soldiers, red for heart disease and so forth.

[jelepe75]

This square will go perfect in the square swap i am in! It is called cherry chocolate and it is pinks and browns. Thanks!

[TrendyTurner]

Wow, how wonderful. I may have to find a good excuse to use this pattern. And you added how to make each stitch which is incredibly helpful!!!

[darski]

That is just an absolutely beautiful pattern. Thank you so much for sharing it.

 

I will have to try a comfortghan with that pattern.

Awareness Ribbon 8”or 12” square

 

 

 

Original Pattern by Carolyn VanOstran

 

 

I made this pattern when I was looking for a square to make for a comfortghan and couldn’t find what I was looking for. You may use this pattern as much as you like, but please don’t sell the pattern.

 

 

Skill Level—Intermediate

 

Hook size—H/8—5.0mm

 

Gauge -- 7 dc and 4 rows = 2" x 2"

 

Yarn—Size 4 – worsted weight, like RH SuperSaver

 

Stitches Used:

DC—Yo, insert hook into stitch indicated and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

Fpdc—Yo, insert hook from front to back to front again around post of st indicated, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

Fptr—Yo 2 times, insert hook from front to back to front again around post of st indicated, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops again.

 

 

NOTES: Occasionally stitches get lost under corner stitches and the fpdc and fptr. You

will need to push those stitches aside in order to get to that stitch.

**Rounds 7 & 11 ea have an extra dc on one side of the corner, this is not a typo.

Can you please help me I saw an afghan that was crocheted. It was called a Dresden Plate. Does anyone know where I might find this pattern?

 

Thank,
