Granny Square a Week-Week Forty Three

This week's square:

Fill'er Up Afghan Square by Margaret MacInnis

This square is incredibly easy and quick to work. It is pretty simple but the clusters and the chain spaces create a lot of interest!

Again with the hearts! I just love them, and flowers:

Hearts All Around by Laurie O. Campbell

This pattern has a tendency to be a wee bit confusing. You have to pay attention and count in the early rounds. It can be easy to be thrown off slightly.

Adjustments:

Round 6, when it tells you to skip four stitches, ignore that. I am not sure why she says that because if you actually skip 4 stitches you will be far off from where you need to be. Just finish your last LHC chain 2 and dc in the first DC in the corner section.

Round 7, in the corner spaces, you 2 dc in the next 2 stitches, make the corner and then 2 dc in the following stitches. It says to make 3 but there are not enough stitches to do that, just chain spaces and we are told to  skip those.

Round 8, it says to dc in next 4 chain spaces, but it is to dc in the next 3 dc and then dc in the chain space. After you sc and chain in the top of the heart humps, you dc in the chain space and 3 dc in the 3 dc.

I ended on Round 9.

This week's is another one of those "easier than it looks" squares:

Obscured Flower Granny Square by Prague Loop

My adjustements:

On Round 4, when you go back to color 2, you will have to slip stitch twice to the chain space. That chain space is in between 2 corners so you only make 2dc and then chain 1. The next chain space will be the corner, where you can 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc. When you look at the row where you will be placing the 3 dc, you can see where the corner is and where the sections between corners are. Follow that and you will be golden.

On Round 5, again you have to slip stitch twice to the chain space. Which is a space in between corners. Again, 2dc, chain 1 and you continue from there(3dc, chain 1, then make corner).

Also, anywhere you make a chain 3, that counts as 1 dc so you don't need to make 3 in that space.

This week's square is another solid one, and fairly simple:

Popcorn and Treble Square by Marlo Cairns

Only adjustments: is in round 3 in the beginning of the round, as you are making your first corner, you chain 3, 1 dc, chain2, 2 dc.

I stopped at round 5 for size.
