Granny Square a Week-Week Fifty

So here we are: Week 50! And this week is a Christmasy theme.

Christmas Wreath Square by Carol Wijma

This is a fairly easy square, even though it looks complicated. My only adjustments:

Round 6, when they call for 2 dc, 2 hdc, 4 sc, etc. you put one in each stitch. Meaning if you have 8 stitches from the row below, you would do 1 dc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc. The only place you put 2 stitches in one stitch from the row below are the corners when you do tr, chain 3, tr.

Also, I omitted the red stitching on the inside of the wreath, I couldn't get it to sit correctly. It looked just fine without it.

As for the bow, I did not like the way they did it in the pattern. On my main color square, which I made second, you will see it is slightly different. All I did was chain 50, place a dc in the 3rd chain from the hook and all the way across, then fashioned it in the same way they did on the pattern. I left a long tail so I could stitch it up to about the center so I could attach it to the square.

And that is it! I am working on attaching all the squares now, so hopefully next week's blog will be the big reveal!

Until Next Week!
