* 07-09-10 Changed last row to a hdc, will update picture tomorrow. Shells Around
6" with "G" hook
Special Stitches:
Shell: 5 dc in stitch specified
Beg Corner: sl st. into ch-2 sp and ch-3, dc, ch-2 2 dc.
Work Corner: 2dc, ch-2, 2dc
As with any pattern, the size depends on your hook & yarn preference.
I used a G hook and WW yarn, I tend to crochet a bit tight...my square
measures 6", but yours might measure differently.

Thank you for the pattern! Very pretty square!
Great pattern, I am going to use it for a charity square. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks ladies! I appreciate the comments. I will be posting more free squares.
I can't wait to try this pattern! I saw it on the Share A Square page!
This is lovely! Having multiple colors would really set it off! Thanks for sharing! Love the site!
I love this square!! Is there any way to get it as a PDF?
Hi Kari I should have your email address, but I lost all my contacts when I deleted emails from my phone, for some reason they also deleted on yahoo on my computer. Please email me at Bluedragonflymom@yahoo.com and I will send you a PDF of the pattern. Remind me the pattern in the email.
I love your patterns !! Each is very lovely and I have bookmarked several so I can make them. I am curious as to why there is not a link for each of your patterns to make printing easier? I have to have a printed copy of the pattern ~ I can't crochet from a pattern still on the computer. Thanks so much for posting all your lovely patterns to share with us.
Lovely Linda
Was looking for a more solid (as in closely knit, not color) square and stumbled into this post. Love it! I might even try it with baby yarn that I have that is too thin and not warm enough with regular squares.
This is quite lovely. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you so much!
