Woollies for Tassie - part 2


I've been really enjoying crocheting for a purpose, other than the usual purpose of having fun! I have been making 8" squares to send to Tasmania (see this previous post)

I've made a few of the traditional granny squares, but wanted to make a few extra fancier ones.

You might remember last year (well, a couple of months ago!) I made this:


I absolutely love this pattern, and had a few circles left over, perfect to use! but they do need to be bigger!


The pattern is called Flowers in the Snow by Solveig. You will need to visit her page to get the first three rounds. 

Round 4: in any chain space: 3 ch, 3dc (UK tr), 1 ch, *4 dc in next chain space, 1 ch. Repeat from *10 more times and sl st into 3rd chain from beginning  
{4dc in each space, separated by a chain}

Round 5: in any chain space: 3 ch, 1dc, 1 ch, 2dc, 2ch. *2dc into next chain space 1 chain and 2dc (into same chain space) 2 chains. Repeat from * 10 more times and sl st into 3rd chain from beginning. 
{2dc, 1ch, 2dc into each space, separated by 2 chains}

Round 6: into large chain space (space made by 2 chains) 3ch 3dc 1ch, 1dc into small chain space, 1ch, *4 dc into next large chain space, 1 ch, 1dc into nect small chain space. repeat from * 10 more times and sl st into 3rd chain from beginning
{4dc into large space, 1dc into each small space, each separated by 1ch}

+ 2tr into next space 5ch 2tr into next sp 3ch 
Repeat from * two times, and then repeat from * a third time and finish at +. Sl st to join.



Round: 8:
Starting in the corner space, 3ch and 2dc, 3ch, 3dc

I have used a 4mm hook with 8ply yarn. If you are going to send to Woollies for Tassie, they are asking for 8ply yarn, either wool or acrylic but please label it. For more info, please go to the Craft Hive
