Here is mine:

Just a couple of suggestions~ Round 1: When you have ch6 ( counts as center st & tr) Maybe put ch6, 5th chain from hook, 1tr,ch 1 etc... then say chain 5 counts as 1 tr..
Row 6: are you to sl st to corner?

I finished mine up last night, but it was way too dark to take pictures.

I'll try to get one up here this afternoon. I loved the pattern!

I used Red Heart yarn.

I lost my loft bed in the craft room. So I lost my yarn stash hiding place[ had a nice closet spot in the back under the top bunk]. And you would not believe the yarn that I had stashed back there!!!!!!! I have it all piled up on the queen bed in the spare room..

Anywho, you were asking about the yarn.. Got a little side tracked..
It's Red Heart~ Hot Red.. The only red I could find digging though the mountain of yarn...I used the dc around the edge. I used a J hook, my mistake should have used a bigger hook.. I always need to go to either 1 or 2 size bigger hook to get the gauge.. I ended up just short of 12".

I did mine first with a K and it was right at 13 inches and I did the hdc................ sc with the K would still have made it bigger than 12".

Then I did it with the J and hdc in rnd 9 to get my 12" size.

Do you all think that the RH in these size hooks have a better feel,
tending to a softer feel maybe?..........This is what I am hopping for with these.

Can't wait to see all of the pics, you all did a great job...........
Thank you so much

Kathy,

So, you're designing these squares?

I absolutely love this one and would be happy to test one for you if you still need testers. If not, I'll keep my eyes open for future testing.

Cheers, Laura

Hi Kathy & All,

Okay, here it is and I think that maybe I got the first round confused because it doesn't look like all of yours?

I chained 4 and then worked all 4 rnds into the beg chain.....was this correct? Also, my camera has this film-y thing going on and I don't know what's causing it so the picture isn't as crystal clear as it could have been.

I'm sorry I didn't use a red color but didn't really take notice of that on the instuctions in my haste to start crocheting!

I used a size I hook thinking that a J wouldn't look good with this yarn but when finished and measured it is approximately 11-1/2" so perhaps I could have used a J and sc rnd 9? I did dc on round 9 knowing that for my square it had to measure larger with the last row completed.

I used Peaches & Cream cotton in a peach (of course, LOL) and off white color and now I realize that it would have been easier to work up in a worsted blend or acrylic rather than cotton.

There you have it Kathy, so give me your thoughts and don't hold back....I can take it.

Cheers, Laura

Hey Laura, that looks really nice done in the multi colors.

The center looks right, I will bet it's the way that color sets it off......................just makes it look dif is all.

If you will look close, you will see that you did it right

Thanks hun for testing it for me, it looks pretty done up
in a varigated color, very pretty

I really enjoyed working this one up. It fell into place for me well. I have trouble reading patterns sometimes and have to rip a lot but not with this one. Loved it:)
