Granny Square a Week- Week Eleven

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we are doing a Celtic Knot Square.

I followed this pattern

Celtic Knot Square by Carola Wijma

Don't be scared! It actually is quite easy once you get going. And if you have never followed a chart before this is a GREAT introduction since it has not only a written pattern but pictures, so it is quite easy to follow.

I did make some adjustments, mostly from my own mistakes reading the pattern but when I went back to the way the pattern had written, I liked my way better!

• In making the center square, I did 6 dc for the corners instead of 4. Mistake initially, fixed it, liked the 6 better.
• In the 2nd round to make the Celtic knot into a square, it calls for 3 dc in the ch 3 space, 4 dc , then 3 dc in chain 3 space. Again, I misread the pattern and did 3 dc in ch 3 space, 3 dc and 3 dc in ch 3 space. I fixed it and went back and did it the way I initially worked it up with 3-3-3 because the other way, IMO made it a bit bunchy.
• I had to do 4 colors this week so you could easily see the knot. 2 colors just blended the whole thing together.

This is one of those projects where you finish and you feel like you have accomplished something huge, when you know it was a piece of cake!

The extra colors were Vanna's Choice in Pink and Red Heart Soft in Off White

Colors are Vanna's Choice in Mustard and Taupe, Impeccable in Forest and Red Heart Soft in Off White

Until Next Week!
