Concentric, Alternating Circles Square

I asked hubby to pick out another square from my list for me to make. He picked out this one, found here. It looks pretty cool.

I had to go back to work, so it's been awhile since I made a square for this project, and now I'm running out of yarn! Time to run to the store!

Horse Square, Take Two


This is an adaptation of an MC Esher print, as created here. I cut it down to fit a 25 by 25 square. I also had to recreate my own chart in two colors, in the colors I was using, otherwise, I'd keep losing my place. I think the horses are hard to see initially, but I really like it. This one will get added to the sampler. I'm still not sure how I feel about the previous horse square.


Horse Square

I used the grid found here. I added some extra space all around to make it a 7" square. But I don't think I like it. It looks more like the Democrat donkey than a horse. Or, it's a horse with a very sad tail! Maybe I won't use this one in the afghan.

Mitered Square

Many patterns exist for the mitered square.

Brick Wall Square


I though this was another nifty cable pattern, found here. Alas, so many ends to weave in!

Diagonal Square


This one is a modified dishcloth, found here. The pattern called for it to be doubled, which I didn't want. So I started on the diagonal, same as on the pattern, and did sc on both sides, then did sc along each side, each time through I joined two stitches together, so each row was reduced by two stitches.
