I started a new afghan. It's actually a practice one, before I make the one that will really mean something special to me. I actually kind of want to make it a secret new project too... until i'm at least part way finished with it.
But, in this new afghan I do have a new square! It's a 10" square, one of the biggest I have ever made.
Isn't it beautiful!?? I really hope it looks great with the rest of the blanket once I am finished with it!
To make this 10" Square you need a size H hook.
To Start: Ch 5, join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 3, 15 dc in ring, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.
Round 2: Ch 4, (dc in next dc, ch 1) 15 times, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 4.
Round 3: Sl st in next ch 1 sp. Ch 1, sc in same sp, (ch 3, sc in next ch 1 sp) 15 times, ch 3, sl st in beginning sc. {16 ch 3 sps}
Round 4: Sl st in next ch 3 sp, ch 1, sc in same sp, (ch 3, sc in next ch 3 sp) 15 times, ch 3, sl st in beginning sc. {16 ch 3 sps}
Round 5: Ch 1, sc in same st. (3 sc in next ch 3 sp, sc in next sc) 15 times, 3 sc in last ch 3 sp, join with sl st in beginning sc. {64 sc}
Round 6: Ch 4, (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 1, dc) in same st, *(ch 2, sk next sc, hdc in next sc, {ch 2, sk 3 sc, sc in next sc}twice, ch 2, sk 3 sc, hdc in next sc, ch 2, sk next sc, {dc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, dc, ch 1, dc} in next sc.)*twice, ch 2, sk next sc, hdc in next sc, {ch 2, sk 3 sc, sc in next sc}twice, ch 2, sk 3 sc, hdc in next sc, ch 2, sk next sc, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 4.
Round 7: St st in next sts until ch 2 sp in corner, ch 3, (dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same sp, *(dc in next dc, dc in next ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, {2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next st}4 times, 2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next dc, dc in next ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, {2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc} in corner ch 2 sp)*twice, dc in next dc, dc in next ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, {2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next st}4 times, 2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next dc, dc in next ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.
Round 8: Sl st in next dc and into ch 2 sp, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, sc) in same sp, *(sc in back loop only of each dc across, {sc, ch 2, sc} in next ch 2 sp)*twice, sc in back loop only of each dc across, join with sl st in beginning sc.
Round 9: Sl st into corner ch 2 sp, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, sc) in same sp, *(ch 3, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc)8 times across, ch 3, sk 2 sc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in corner ch 2 sp)*twice, (ch 3, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc)8 times across, ch 3, sk 2 sc, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning sc.
Round 10: Sl st into corner ch 2 sp, ch 3, (dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same sp, *(3 dc in each of next 9 ch 3 sps, {2dc, ch 2, 2 dc} in corner ch 2 sp)*twice, 3 dc in each of the next 9 ch 3 sps, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.
Round 11: Sl st in next dc and into corner ch 2 sp, ch 3, (dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in sampe corner sp, *({ch 1, sk next dc, dc in next dc}15 times, ch 1, sk next dc, {2 dc, ch 2, 2dc} in cornerch 2 sp)*twice, {ch 1, sk next dc, dc in next dc}15 times, ch 1, sk next dc, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.
Round 12: Sc in each st and each ch 1 sp around, with 3 sc in each corner ch 2 sp, finish off.
The original inspiration came from YarnCrazy. The one she made was a 12" square, and I didn't want one that big. So I tweaked it to make it a 10" square.
