So we had a bit of fun with block 4, putting it out for a public vote, and I can now reveal that the square that received the majority vote was ‘F’ – the ‘Harriett’ Square!  Although we are on block 4 there is still plenty of time to catch up – the full schedule and details about the CAL can be found here.

I love this fun design which plays with an octagonal shape inside a square.  It’s all created with simple stitches and produces a lovely end result.

This square is currently free on Ravelry (and has been since June 2013).

Harriett Square 12″ by Carolyn Christmas

Notes:

• Hook: UK 5 mm / US Size H
• Yarn: Aran / 10 ply / Worsted / Weight #4
• Colours: Works great with up to 5 different colours changes but I would suggest at least 2 so you can see the pattern.
• Pattern available in US terminology for conversion chart please click HERE

As the designer says this block can ruffle a bit in the early rounds but the later rounds straighten it out.  You can also block the square to flatten if required.

My Version:

Ta dah!! This is my version of this square using my colour palette (I blogged about this here).  I love how it turned out!  

Don’t forget to stay tuned for the next block to be released on March 4th (or 5th)
