CORONACAL GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN

Slight change of plan for today's post, after seeing the Square everyone voted for doing the Square today and the borders on Monday 20th April 2020

CORONACAL SQUARE PATTERN

US TERMS

5mm hook for Aran

4mm hook for DK

Inspired by my studio wallpaper, this square 'tile' is another giant just like the eye motif, measuring approx 12" 

So a small blanket can be made from 4, 6 or 9 squares or a larger blanket with 12 or 36 square would be a huge 6'+ square.

I've made mine in several shades of blues, from aqua to dark blue. I am running out of left overs for these colours so cant be exact with shades used its what i can find and all the squares will be slightly different although as close as i can make them.

THE SQUARE PATTERN

is the same up to adding the spears then it changes slightly

Add 4 spears every 3rd section in each corner.
