This blanket was made from scraps a while back with the patterns that we will be posting over the next few weeks:
Today's pattern is:
CIRCLE IN A SQUARE GRANNY
PATTERN TERMS: US
YARN WEIGHT: DK (8PLY / LIGHT WORSTED WEIGHT)
HOOK SIZE: 5.00mm
SQUARE SIZE: 12cm x 12cm
Zooty Owl's Colourway: Denim Blue, Blue, Turquoise, Lime, Bright Green, Lemon and White.
Start with a MAGIC RING
(alternatively crochet 3ch, sl st into 3rd chain from hook to form a circle)
Row 1: 3ch (counts as 1dc); 11 dc into the magic ring; sl st into 3rd of beginning 3ch to close round (12dc); Pull the beginning tail to tighten the ring
Row 2: sl st into first space between dc; 3ch (counts as 1dc) 1dc in same space as join (2dc grouping); [2dc into each sp between dc on the previous round (2dc grouping)] x11; sl st into 3rd of beginning 3ch to close round (24dc)
Row 3: Sl st to centre of 2dc grouping; 3ch (counts as 1dc), 2dc into the centre of the 2dc grouping; [3dc into centre of next 2dc grouping (3dc grouping)] x 11; sl st into 3rd of beginning 3ch to close round (36dc). Break off yarn.
Row 5: Before you start Round 5, turn your work, so you're facing the wrong side; 3ch (counts as 1dc) 2dc into space between 3dc groupings; (3dc, 3ch, 3dc) into corner 3ch; [(3dc into next space) x3; (3dc, 3ch, 3dc) into corner 3ch)] x3; (3dc into next space) x2; sl st into 3rd of beginning 3ch to close round; turn work.
Now your square should look like this from the wrong side:
Row 6: Before you start Round 6, turn your work again, so you're
facing the right side; 3ch (counts as 1dc) 2dc into space between groupings; (3dc into next space) x2; (3dc, 3ch, 3dc) into
corner 3ch; [(3dc into next space) x4; (3dc, 3ch, 3dc) into corner
3ch)] x3; 3dc into next space; sl st into 3rd of beginning 3ch to close round. Break off yarn.
Use your favourite joining method to join your squares in a row - I am using my VISIBLE JOIN to join mine!
