If it’s your first time to see this CAL, please check General Information HERE, Part 1 and Part 2.
This week is about overlay crochet squares. You will complete 4 of them – each with a new placement of colors. So all your squares will be different, and you will definitely not be bored.
The square consists of central medallion (made with Catona) and then 4 corners (with Spirit yarn) are added. And to frame everything you will add a final edge with Catona again.

The pattern says every square should be 14cm large – after blocking. Of course this is valid only in case you have correct gauge and your previous parts were the same size as given in the pattern. If your gauge is a bit off – don’t worry. We will find the way how to fix this.
Please, measure the width of your blocked piece and divide it by 4. This is what your square size (blocked) should be. For example, if width of your wrap is 60cm, your square should be 60:4=15cm. And if your width is, say, 52cm – the square should be 52:4=13cm.
You can achieve correct size either by blocking (stretching your square to bigger dimensions), or making small tweaks with the pattern. You can try and play with hdc/dc/tr (US terms) stitches on rounds 7 and 8, and on the final round of the edge. If you feel your square is not getting desired size, try to replace stitches on these rounds with either shorter or longer ones. I hope this small trick will help you!
As on previous parts, please, weigh your yarns carefully and check yardages for each color in a table for Part 1.
And here are my squares joined for each color way. Please, feel free to join them in another order if you wish!

Have been trying to get to the English(UK) version but the link doesn’t seem to be working. I know I could manage to work from the US version, but it will be difficult to mentally translate the pattern as I work. Is the UK version going to be available soon as I am keen to move on the next part, I am having so much fun learning the new techniques and watching the wrap grow. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe UK version should be added shortly but at the moment I can't tell you when. The pattern has been revised and I am waiting for the file.
DeleteThank you, I will wait until it comes on line. :-)
ReplyDeleteI found the patterm.
ReplyDeleteThank you
I still can't download the UK version.
ReplyDeleteThis will really cause some frustration as while I can work from the US terms ive been working from the UK terms as this is what I letter prefer to work from
Can I assume that the yarn choices are the same for the orchid version, since I saw changes in parts 1&2, I wanted to verify.
ReplyDeleteYes, the colors are changed in the same way for all three colorways.
