Pattern

Make 24 flower squares, 6 of each color combination. Färgbyten anges löpande i texten.

Color changes are stated througout the text.

The various squares are numbered 1-4 to later help place squares before joining. Colors of

petals are listed above picture (color 2 in the description), the colors of the middles are listed

below picture (color 1 in the description):

1 2 3 4

Pink Quartsize Corundum Ruby Deep Amethyst Garnet

Black Onyx Crystal Quartz Crystal Quartz Crystal Quartz

Flower square

Först virkas blomman, därefter rutan bakom blomman.




Start: Color 1. Magic circle

Round 1: 8 hdc in circle (8 hdc)

Round 2: Color 2. Front loops only. Start in any st. *Sl st, ch12, sl st in same lp as 1st sl st*,

repeat *-* 7 more times. (8 ch-12)

Round 3: Continue with color 2. {sc2, hdc3, dc4, picot-3, dc4, hdc3, sc2 in every ch-12 (8

petals)

The petals will turn some and look 3D alike.

Now to the square which is made behind the flower. A at start the square might seem

skewed, due to one skipped stitch after each corner. This will straighten out on last rounds.

Rounds 4-10 Smokey Quartz and rounds 11-12 Black Onyx.

Round 4: Smokey Quartz. Back loops only. Start in any stitch, dc2 in every st (16 dc)




Round 5: *Dc in next 4 st, ch3, dc in same st as last dc*, repeat *-* 3 more times (20 dc + 4

ch-3)

Round 6: *Dc in next 4 st, {2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc} in ch-3, sk next st (hidden after the corner)*,

repeat *-* 3 more times (32 dc + 4 ch-3)

Round 7: Dc in next 6 st, {dc2, ch3, dc2} in ch-3, sk next st

(hidden after the corner), *dc in next 7 st, {dc2, ch3, dc2} in ch-3,

sk next st (hidden after the corner)*, repeat *-* 2 more times, dc in

last st (44 dc + 4 ch-3)

Round 8: Dc in next 8 st, {dc2, ch3, dc2} in ch-3, sk next st

(hidden after the corner), *dc in next 10 st, {dc2, ch3, dc2} in ch-3, sk next st (hidden after

the corner)*, repeat *-* 2 more times, dc in last 2 st (56 dc + 4 ch-3)




Note that numbers of stitches in corners and stitches are different from round 9.

Round 9: Hdc in next 10 st, {hd2c, ch2, hdc2} in ch-3, sk next st (hidden after the corner),

*hdc in next 13 st, {hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-3, sk next st (hidden after the corner)*, repeat

*-* 2 more times, hdc in last 3 st (68 hdc + 4 ch-2)

On next round, place the petals pointing to each side of the corners.

Round 10: Hdc in next 8 st, *hdc in 2nd st of picot-3 on petal and next st on square, hdc in

next 3 st, {hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, sk next hidden st, hdc in next 3 st, hdc in 2nd st of picot-

3 on petal and next st on square, hdc in next 8 st*, repeat *-* 2 more times, hdc in 2nd st of

picot-3 and next st of square, hdc in next 3 st, {hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, sk next hidden st,

hdc in next 3 st, hdc in last picot-3 and st of square, fasten off (80 hdc + 4 ch-2)

Front post trebles are made on next 2 rounds. The stitch behind fptr is skipped, but difficult

to distinguish, therefore count stitches carefully. Make fptr tight.

Round 11: Black Onyx. Hdc in next 9 st, *insert hook behind petal, fptr, sk next st on square

(behind fptr), hdc in next 4 st, {hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, skip next st, hdc in next 4 st, insert

hook behind petal, fptr, sk next st on square (behind fptr), hdc in next 9 st*, repeat *-* 2 more

times, insert hook around petal, fptr, sk next st on square (behind fptr), hdc in next 4 st,

{hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, skip next st, hdc in next 4 st, insert hook around petal, fptr, sk last

st on square (behind fptr) (84 hdc + 8 fptr + 4 ch-2)

Note! If square is to be used separately, exchange fptr for fpdc on round 12.

Round 12: Hdc in next 10 st, *fptr in fptr on pr rnd, sk next st (behind fptr), hdc in next 5 st,

{hdc2, ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, sk next st, hdc in next 5 st, fptr in fptr on pr rnd, sk next st, hdc in

next 10 st*, repeat *-* 2 more times, fptr in fptr on pr rnd, sk next st, hdc in next 5 st, {hdc2,




ch2, hdc2} in ch-2, sk next st, hdc in next 5 st, fptr in fptr on pr rnd, sk last st (96 hdc + 8 fptr

+ 4 ch-2)

Joining squares

Before joining, block your squares. Place the squares according to the scheme below

(numbers on top by the flower quares).

Row 1: 3, 2, 4, 1

Row 2: 4, 1, 3, 2

Row 3: 2, 3, 1, 4

Row 4: 1, 4, 2, 3

Row 5: 3, 2, 4, 1

Row 6: 4, 1, 3, 2

Use Black Onyx and flat slip stitch join with loose tension for joining (flat sl st = insert hook

from top into back loops only and make a slip stitch).

Flat sl st in every st, but stop 1-2 stitches before fptr and insert hook behind fptr away from

you and then behind fptr closest to you, make a sl st. Fptr are supposed to have a slight

leaning to either left or right (important for the border ”heart”). Skip 1 st behind every fptr

and continue making sl st.

After joining, fpst and petals form

heart bows.

Border

Note that changes between fpdc and fptr can appear from round to round.

Round 1: Black Onyx. Sc in every stitch, {sc, ch2, sc} in every ch-2 in corners (do not skip

the hidden st). Adjust numbers of stitches if necessary. A total of 28 sc on each side of one

single square, adjust numbers if necessary. (568 sc + 4 ch-2 in corners)




Fpst will be made as on previous rounds, with the difference that fpst leaning to the right,

starts 2 st before fpst on pr rnd. Count stitches between fpst, to make sure stitches are made

right. Note that the skipped stitch behind the right fpst is far behind on pr rnd.

Round 2: Pink Quartsize. Start in any corner. {dc2, ch2, dc2} in every corner (ch-2). Dc in

every st, except when making fpst…

• …leaning to the left: make dc in sc made in fptr on square, make fptr in fptr on square,

sk next st (behind fptr), continue with dc in every stitch between fpst

and

• …leaning to the right: stop 2 st before fptr on square, make fptr in fptr on square, sk

next st (note! far behind fptr), continue with dc in every st between fpst

(584 st (13 st between every fpst) + 4 ch-2 in corners)

Round 3: Smokey Quartz. Start in any corner. {dc2, ch2, dc2} in every corner (ch-2). Dc in


• …leaning to the left: make dc in both loops of fptr on pr rnd, make fpdc in fptr, sk

next st (behind fpdc), continue with dc in every stitch between fpst

and

• …leaning to the right: stop 2 st before fptr, make fpdc in fptr, sk next st (note! far

behind fpdc), continue with dc in every st between fpst

(600 st (11 + 15 st between every fpst) + 4 ch-2 in corners)

Round 4: Corundum Ruby. Start in any corner. {2dc, ch2, dc2} in every corner (ch-2). Dc in


• …leaning to the left: make dc in both loops of fpdc on pr rnd, make fptr in fpdc, sk

next st (behind fptr), continue with dc in every stitch between fpst

and

• …leaning to the right: stop 2 st before fpdc, make fptr in fpdc, sk next st (note! far

behind fptr), continue with dc in every st between fpst


Round 5: Crystal Quartz. Start in any corner. {dc2, ch2, dc2} in every corner (ch-2). Dc in


• …leaning to the left: make dc in both loops of fptr on pr rnd, make fpdc in fptr, sk

next st (behind fpdc), continue with dc in every stitch between fpst

and

• …leaning to the right: stop 2 st before fptr, make fpdc in fptr, sk next st (note! far




behind fpdc), continue with dc in every st between fpst


Börja i något hörn. I varje hörn virkas (2 st, 2 lm, 2 st). Virka därefter 1 st i varje m varvet

runt, förutom

• efter att st är gjord i den reldst som lutar åt vänster, virka 1 relst fr runtom reldst på fg

v, hö 1 m på fg v och fortsätt med 1 st i varje m.

samt

• fram till 2 m före den reldst som lutar åt höger, virka 1 relst fr runtom reldst på fg v,

hö 1 m på fg v och fortsätt med 1 st i varje m.

• …leaning to the left: make dc in both loops of fpdc on pr rnd, make fptr in fpdc, sk

next st (behind fptr), continue with dc in every stitch between fpst

and

• …leaning to the right: stop 2 st before fpdc, make fptr in fpdc, sk next st (note! far



Round 7: Smokey Quartz. Start in any corner. {dc2, ch2, dc2} in every corner (ch-2). Dc in

• …where fptr meet, make fptr2tog (”closing” every fpst on pr rnds and all together

make a ”V”. All single fpst closest to corners are made as pr rnds with fptr.




Round 10: Black Onyx. Start between tvo ”V’s”/fptr2tog on pr rnd. Sc in every st, except…

• …stop 5 st before every V/fptr2tog or single fpst, then sk 2 st, dc4 in same st, sk 1 st,

same st, sk 2 st, continue with sc in every st.

and

• …stop 6 st before every corner, sk 2 st, dc5 in same st, sk 1 st, sl st in next st, sk 1 st,
