My Notes: The Dublin Crossroads Square is a lovely example of geometric mosaic design - it's giving me art deco vibes! One of the delightful things about this technique is it's simplicity, and Ashley makes it easy for all skill levels. She's included written instructions, a chart, and a video tutorial!
Helpful Links and Tutorials: Crochet Abbreviations, Magic Circle, Back Loop Only, and seamless join.
Sizing: My square was almost at 12" after Rnd 17, so I just worked one final round of blo single crochet to finish it off.
Everyone's gauge is different, so be sure to measure as you go! Learn how to adjust for size HERE to ensure all your squares are the same size. Remember that the 12″ is measured across and up and down, not diagonally/corner to corner.
Yarn Options: This year, our designers have chosen from a variety of yarns, including Brava Worsted, Swish Worsted, Jimmy Beans Wool Beanstalk, Berroco Vintage, and MadTosh Vintage. For this square, Ashley and I both used Brava Worsted!
What I Did:
I used a US-J, 6.0 mm crochet hook, and Brava Worsted yarn, and my color scheme was as follows (see pics for more info on placement):
Rnd 1: Espresso
All Even Rnds 2 - 16: Custard
Rnds 3 and 5: Espresso
Rnds 7, 9, and 11: Denim
Rnds 13 and 15: Fig
Rnd 17: Seashell
Final Rnd: Cream
This square needed only a little bit of blocking, so I used wet blocking.
