CIRCLE TO SQUARE: Blocked its approx 15-16" square
Preparing your 4 or 9 x 16" motifs for joining..this pictures is only a mock up there are more rows before you actually join the squares together.
ROW 1: att yarn in ch3 sp of the first diamond, hdc [htr], in the next 5sts, hdc [htr], in the next 3 sps, (that's the ch3 sp of the triangle), the next ch3 sp, (the diamond) and the ch3 sp of the next triangle making 8sts for each pair of diamond and triangle.
repeat hdc [htr], in next 5 sts, and the next 3 x ch3 sps, to the end, sl st to complete. (144sts)
ADDING CORNERS
You now have the correct number of sts to divide the circles into 4 sections
4 x 36sts, using stitch markers.

4 colours requires for each circle, each corner in a different colour
Add a 4 round granny shell corner to the 4 corner of each circle.
You will use 25sts, of the 36sts. Leaving 11sts, unused.
NOTES: These corners are like making the start of a Granny Shell Shawl, you need the ch1 between the granny shells for ease, because it is to go around the curve of the circle.
And you need to do a longer st as the first st for each granny shell next to the circle, again for ease, (thats just the first st not the complete granny shell).

Hi Duhova thanks xx
DeleteI am really confused by the following: 'ROW 1: att yarn in ch3 sp of the first diamond, hdc [htr], in the next 5sts, hdc [htr], in the next 3 sps, (that's the ch3 sp of the triangle), the next ch3 sp, (the diamond) and the ch3 sp of the next triangle making 8sts for each pair of diamond and triangle.' I do not understand how to read this. When I attach the yarn in the ch3 sp, do I make a hdc (htr) in this ch3 sp - and, if so, a further hdc (htr) in each of the next 4 stitches. If I have to do one hdc (htr) in the ch3 sp of the triangle, a hdc (htr) in the ch3 sp in the diamond and a hdc (htr) in the ch3 sp of the next triangle, how is that 8 stitches in each pair of diamond and triangle as these 8 sts spans a diamond, a triangle, a diamond and another triangle
ReplyDeletehi Unknown, there are 5 sts across the top of the triangle and then 3sps, so you do a hdc in each st and each sp = 8 stitches per pair of triangle and diamond, there are 18 pairs so 8 x 18 =144 hdc [htr] does that help?
DeleteThanks so much. When working the 8 sts, does it not cover a diamond, a triangle and another diamond. The 8sts are worked thus : 1st in ch3 space of the diamond, 5sts in the following triangle and then 1st in the next diamond so I work each triangle and diamond pair as having 7 stitches. Also when working '
DeleteROW 1: att yarn in ch3 sp of the first diamond, hdc [htr], in the next 5sts,' do I need to ch first to give the first hdc height xx
