Here's the 2nd clue for our Mystery Blanket CAL in an easy step by step. You can also find two videos for the whole clue at the bottom of this lesson!
Make a magic circle - READ MAGIC CIRCLE - on hook size 3 mm/C with pink.
MAGIC CIRCLE: Hold yarn end in the left hand and make a loop around left index finger (from left to right). Work sts around the circle and yarn end. When the desired no of sts has been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop.
ROUND 1: 2 ch (replace 1 hdc).
ROUND 1: 5 hdc in ch-ring
ROUND 1: finish with 1 sl st in 2nd ch = 6 hdc around magic circle.
ROUND 2: 2 ch (= 1 hdc), 1 hdc in same st, 2 hdc in every st on round and finish with 1 sl st in 2nd ch - READ COLOR CHANGE = 12 hdc around ring. Cut the yarn.
COLOR CHANGE:
When changing color work as follows: Before last pull through of last loop on hook, switch color, pull the last loop on hook through with the new color.
ROUND 3: Switch to light turquoise and make 1 ch and 1 sc in same st. * ch 3, skip 1 st, 1 sc in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round and finish with 1 sl st in first ch on round = 6 ch-spaces.
ROUND 4: 1 sl st around ch-space *1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc *, repeat around each ch-space and finish with 1 sl st in first sl st - READ COLOR CHANGE.
= 6 leaves. Cut the yarn.
ROUND 5: Switch to turquoise, ch 1, work in every leaf as follows: * 1 sc in sc, 1 hdc in hdc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in dc, 1 hdc in hdc and 1 sc in sc *. Finish with 1 sl st in ch from beg of round.
= 6 leaves. Cut the yarn.
The flower is done. Now work the square:
ROUND 1: Switch to white and turn piece and work on the back. Work 1 sl st around sc from 3rd round of flower. *4 ch, 1 sl st around the next sc from 3rd round of flower *, repeat *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first sl st on round = 6 ch-spaces.
ROUND 2: Turn piece, from RS 1 sl st in first ch-space, 3 ch (= 1 dc), 3 dc in same ch-space, * (2 dc, ch 2, 4 dc) in next ch-space, (4 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next ch-space *, 4 dc in next ch-space repeat from *-* 1 more time, and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round. = 32 dc, 4 ch-spaces.
ROUND 3: 3 ch (= 1 dc), work 1 dc in every dc until 2 ch space in each corner, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each corner around the entire round and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round = 48 dc, 4 ch-spaces.
ROUND 4: 3 ch (= 1 dc), 1 dc in next dc, * 1 dc through the 2 ch-spaces on leaf in round 5 of flower and in next dc from round 3 of square .
ROUND 4: The flower and the square are worked together.
Complete description of ROUND 4: 3 ch (= 1 dc), 1 dc in next dc, * 1 dc through the 2 ch-spaces on leaf in round 5 of flower and in next dc from round 3 of square, 1 dc in next 5 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) around ch-space in corner, 1 dc in next dc, 1 dc through the 2 ch-spaces on next leaf in round 5 of flower and in next dc from round 3 of square, 1 dc in next 8 dc, 1 dc through the 2 ch-spaces on next leaf in round 5 of flower and in next dc from round 3 of square, 1 dc in next dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) around ch-space in corner *, 1 dc in next 6 dc and then repeat from *-* 1 more time and finish with 1 dc in last 4 dc on round and 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round = 64 dc, 4 ch-spaces.
ROUND 5: ch 1 (= 1 dc), skip 1st dc, work 1 sc in every dc until 2 ch-space in each corner, work (1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 sc) in each corner around entire round. Finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round = 72 sc and 4 hdc around entire square. Cut the yarn.
Back:
One Buttercup flower square finished, measuring ca 9,5 x 9,5 cm. Fasten off and work 5 squares in total the same way in the same colors - or use the colors you like.
