Continuing on my vintage squares, here are the next 4 in the series.
Square 5 is a treble square with a large cross. Worked in Turquoise, this square is just rows of basic treble crochet.
Using some leftover Clover Pink yarn, a cross shape made of cross stitches is embroidered in the centre. This one was quite easy to embroider.
Square 6 is a ribbed pattern square. Looks very much like knit one purl one in knitting.
Worked in Maize, the ribbing effect was achieved by working in relief treble crochet. This is normal treble crochet but it is worked around the stem of the stitch through the back and through the front. Not a difficult stitch to master.
Square 7 is a half treble square with a star motif.
Worked in Sailor Blue yarn, the square is worked entirely in half trebles,forming a dense fabric. With Redcurrant, a simple star was embroidered in the centre in straight stitch. A couple of small stitches helped to fasten the straight stitches.
Square 8 is a square with coloured bobbles.
Using Aubergine yarn, this square has a treble crochet background. The bobbles are then worked in alternate rows using leftover Redcurrant, Clover Pink, Maize, Sailor Blue and Vanilla yarn.
Got some more squares to make up, but at the moment I’m busy working on the rug for my DD. I’d like to have it ready for when she goes to Uni in September.
