2 of the 3 anyway….
This is the Octagon Medallion by Priscilla Hewitt
Worked w/a K hook — which seems too big, but the block won’t usually lie flat when done with smaller hooks.
Up next is the Hometown Square by Mary McKnight of FroggieDesignz.
My standard H hook.
Both squares with Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn WW.
A mystery project with the friendly Lisa’s Design group on Ravelry. Pattern by Lisa Gentry which she designed just for this mystery cal.
Yarn: RHSS Ombre in Fall
Hook: H
Pattern: Pumpkin Patch Square
Yarn: ILTY antique white, aubergine, orchid
Hook: H
This is an 8″ pattern. Added extra V-Stitch and finished off with dc to make a 12″ square.
Would work the corners with less stitches if doing again.
Beautiful. Versatile. Well-Written. All these things that I’ve come to expect from a Chris Simon square pattern. Now go make one!
You might notice that I haven’t weaved the end in yet. Still deciding if I should add another round of sc, since this comes in at just a smidge under 12″. Also have to decide if I have enough white left.
Pattern: Birthday Square
Yarn: ILTY pink, orchid, antique white
Hook: H (next time use an I)
Very excited about this square. This was the February BAMCAL square and at the time I could not do it after several attempts. I decided to give it another go and waaa-la!
Pattern: Center Heart Square by Ginger Badger
Yarn: ILTY
Hook: H
Heartmade Blessings has their website up and running again. It looks nice and the lovely, lovely, patterns are there. Check it out!
Circles on the Square by Vicki Belzer (archived here)
A bit wonky at the join, but will look fine when worked into the large afghan, methinks.

New Years Eve by Sherry Welch (another archived pattern, while the website is being reworked)
I wasn’t even going to try this, but it turned out OK and it is an interesting pattern. I will use a smaller hook (G) if I do this one again. I think it would look better with an additional round of dc.

WIP: Jupiter’s Square by Crochet Patty
This is a 6″ pattern, which I’ll make into a 12″. I can see that I’ve already ‘inadvertently modified’ this pattern. LOL, you’ll see when I post the finished picture.
After Jupiter is finished……only 5 more squares and I can start putting this big baby together! WooHoo!!
Pattern: Lion’s Mane by April Moreland
Yarn: ILTY
Hook: I
I love this square! You can’t tell on the picture, but there are treble stitches in several of the rounds and they are “puffed”. Creative & adorable. If you’re looking for a block for an exchange type thing, I highly recommend this one. The colors change combos are almost endless & it looks fantastic as a solid color block. too.
Added an additional round of hdc to bring it up to 12″.
Lacy Sun by Dayna Audirsch
Yarn: ILTY
Hook: I
No modifications to pattern. Think I should have left off a few hdc here and there in that last row. I should have also cropped that picture a little better. Ah, well, it is what it is.
