Clue #8 - Forget-Me-Not
It's time to work on some more small squares and this time it's not really a mystery because you know the steps from clue #3. The difference is now we are crocheting 28 of them, in two different color combinations!
Already a CAL pro? You can skip the pictures and go directly to the complete diagram (or the video) at the bottom of the clue.
Colors
We will work 4 rounds in square A.4B with the following colors:
CAST ON + ROUND 1: 06 light jeans blue
ROUNDS 2-3: 05 light wash
ROUND 4: 01 white
Let’s get going!
CAST ON:
Work 4 chain stitches with light jeans blue, form them to a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch.
ROUND 1:
Work 1 chain stitch (equivalent to the first single crochet).
Work * 2 chain stitches, 2 single crochets around the ring *, repeat *-* a total of 3 times.
Work 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around the ring and finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round. Do not change color.
Work 1 slip stitch around the first chain-space at the same time as you change to light wash, read COLOR CHANGE TIP below. Cut the light jeans blue strand.
COLOR CHANGE TIP:
To get the neatest transition when changing color, work the last stitch before the color change in the new color.
ROUND 2:
Work 3 chain stitches (equivalent to the first double crochet), 1 double crochet around the first chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets around the same chain-space, 1 chain stitch.
Work * 2 double crochets around the next chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets around the same chain-space, 1 chain stitch *, repeat *-* a total of 3 times.
Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round.
ROUND 3:
Work 1 slip stitch around the first chain-space, 3 chain stitches (equivalent to the first double crochet), 2 double crochets around the same chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 3 double crochets around the same chain-space, 1 chain stitch.
Work * 3 double crochets around the next chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 3 double crochets around the same chain-space, 1 chain stitch *, repeat *-* a total of 3 times.
Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round, at the same time as you change to white. Cut the light wash strand.
ROUND 4:
Work 1 chain stitch, read CROCHET INFO below.
CROCHET INFO:
The round starts with 1 chain stitch before the first single crochet (this chain stitch does not replace the first single crochet).
Work * 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 single crochets around the chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 2 single crochets around the same chain-space, 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, 2 half double crochets around the chain stitch from rounds 2 and 3 *, repeat *-* a total of 4 times.
Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round. Cut and fasten the strands!
Finished!
We have now finished one square A.4B, which should measure 8 x 8 cm / 3 1/8'' x 3 1/8". Work a total of 14 of these squares in the same color combination as shown here:
Now you just need to work 14 more squares in our second color combination (as seen below) CAST ON + ROUND 1: light lilac ROUND 2 - 3: lilac ROUND 4: white
