Share a Square #4













Square #4 is the "Carousel Square". It's so cute! Mine came out a little big, so I had to leave rounds 9 and 10 off. The reason why it came out big was because I used sport weight yarn in purple doubled with fingering weight yarn in white and that's about the same thickness as Red Heart worsted weight (which is much thicker than Caron Simply Soft worsted weight.)

Anyway, since my gauge seems to be a bit small on all of these square patterns so far, I used an H hook. LOL Well for the first time, I came out a tad big!

Oh well, it looks pretty.

I'm going to do another one in blue and white with Caron SS. I so want to try the multi colored look with this square. Before I started this one, I saw the note that said color changes were a bit tricky with this square, so I thought I'd try it in a solid color first. I think I get how to do it, so I'm off to do that now.

I'll update this post later with a pic if I get it done ;) Wish me luck!

I'm back! ;)

It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. This time I used Caron Simply Soft in Lt Country Blue and White. The front:













And here it is from the back (I hope this one's useful)













All together this is a really neat square! I like both versions and they both show off the pattern in different ways. That to me makes this one a definite winner. Nice pick, Linda!
