Block #3:

Snow Covered Garden Square

by Oombawka Design

Above you can see the squares that Rhondda made in 3 colors - so elegant! Below is my CAL square, in my 5 colors of Red Heart With Love - Merlot, Mallard, Boysenberry, Cornsilk, and Black.

My Notes: The Snow Covered Garden Square is a wonderful piece of mosaic crochet! Whether you're a mosiac expert or just a beginner, this pattern is perfect for everyone. That said, you do have to read carefully - the start of each round moves around a bit from row to row! Beyond that, this pattern is almost exclusively single crochet stitches, so don't be nervous, you can do it!

Helpful Links and Tutorials: Magic Circle, BLO/FLO - Back Loop Only/Front Loop Only, Standing Single Crochet, and seamless join.

Sizing: I got to 12" as written. 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.

What I Did:

I used a Susan Bates US-J, 6.0 mm Twist and Lock hook, and Red Heart With Love, and my color scheme was as follows (see pics for more info on placement):

1 and 2: Merlot
3: Cornsilk
4: Merlot
5: Cornsilk
6: Merlot
7: Boysenberry
8: Merlot
9: Boysenberry

11: Mallard
12: Merlot
13: Mallard
14: Merlot
15: Black
16: Merlot
17: Black
18: Merlot

This square did not require blocking, but I used the wet blocking method just to make it perfect.
