Yippee I finally had a bit of time to indulge in a little crocheting, and found a wonderful square that works up quickly, with lovely results. The pattern is called the Victorian Lattice Square, and you can find it here on Ravelry as a free download. Now the only question is what to do with those squares? One square could make a little wall hanging or one side of a pot holder or hot pad, a few squares could become a small runner for a bedside table (that is what I think I'm going to do) and of course twelve or so could become a baby's blanket, and many could become a gorgeous coverlet for a bed. You decide! Oh, and just by the way, the square you see here isn't actually the entire pattern it is missing the last two rows that actually make it into a perfect square. For my purpose, I decided to keep those v shapes on the border for fun, and I may fill them in with another color.
I crocheted these three squares with a very vintage skein of yarn that my mother had saved for a good forty years plus.....and now need to find another color to create a border or joining strips of some kind.....stay tuned!
