These are the photos of the finished rounds of the SchoharieSpring 12 in Square by designer Mary McKnight. This square is the 12 in "filler" square for April for the 2012BAMCAL Group on Ravelry.
This very cool square was published in FroggieDezines. I would like to thank Mary McKnight for
designing this square, and for making the pattern free. I wondered about the name,
"Schoharie," so I Binged it
and it is the name of a county and town in New York State.
I will not put any of the instructions in this post unless I
find something confusing or I feel the need to change something to make my
square work for me. If there are no
changes, I will write "as written," meaning that I simply hooked the
round as it was written. If you are
confused, have a question about a round, or a correction, please leave a
comment, and I will fix, change or add to this post.
I made 2 squares, with very different color changes. I will post the 2nd one in a different blog
post because it would make today's post way too long.
I am using Caron One Pound yarn which is a worsted (size 4)
weight yarn, and a size H (5.0mm) hook

I attached new color in corner ch 3 space.
as written
(21 dc, 18 ch 1 spaces on each side, for 84 dc and 4 ch 3
corner spaces)
 |
| Round 13 |
Round 14
as written
(22 dc, 19 ch 1
spaces on each side, for 88 dc and 4 ch 3 corner spaces) Ok, I found it weird that it went from 21 to
22 and I can't account for it. But, I
double counted and triple counted, and this is my stitch count. As long as you have a consistent count on
each side, I think you are ok.
I measured my square here and was at 12 in. I tend to crochet loosely, and used the
recommended size needle. I ripped the
square back at this point. I don't know
why I didn't just go down a hook to start with.
That is what I usually do. So I
rehooked this round using hdc.
Starting with ch 2 counting as the first hdc.

| Round 14 |
Round 15 Final Round
Since I was already at 12 in, I did sc instead of hdc.
Other than that, I finished the round as written, starting
with ch1 sc in same stitch.
That gave me about 12.3 in.

| Round 15 Finished Square |
My daughter, S, told me the square looks like one of the "bending" symbols from the television show, Avatar, the Last Air Bender. It was a great show. You can watch it on Netflix, or the sequel The Legend of Korra on Nickelodeon.
I rehooked the missing Rounds and added the photos. Hope that wasn't confusing for anyone.
Yours,
