Flower Wheel Circle

by saraphir
Follow me

One thing about starting a project with an idea and posting it as you go along is that you come up against a few hurdles along the way which have to be solved creatively! Such as naming patterns. When I started my Flower Wheel Mandala Series I had an idea for the circles to grow from a coaster to a place mat to a centre piece, but in reality those are not the sizes, so the medium size circle has now got the very fitting name of Flower Wheel Circle. It is a slight enlargement of the Flower Wheel Coaster, which will then be transformed into a square in the next instalment. This is the 5th instalment of the series, you can see all the patterns under Flower Wheel Mandala Series in Categories.

I make each pattern in 3 different yarns: Drops Nepal which is an Aran weight yarn, Drops Belle which is DK weight and Scheepjes Catona which is 4-ply. With Drops Nepal and a 5 mm hook it measures 24 cm/9 1/2 inches across and you need just under 70 m (just under one 50 g ball) of yarn. With Drops Belle and a 4 mm hook it measures 18 cm/ 7 inches and you need around 60 m (1/2 ball) of yarn. And with Scheepjes Catona and a 3 mm hook it measures 15 cm/ 6 inches across and you need 45 m of yarn.

Please remember that this is my design and my copyright. You’re most welcome to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not copy, reproduce, translate or publish it as your own. If you sell what you make or post pictures of your makes I would appreciate if you mention where you got the pattern and direct people to my site. Thanks!

I usually start rounds with standing stitches and end with invisible joins (except when working in one colour). If you are not sure how to do that you can see instructions here – it is much neater than turning chains, so I would recommend you use it. The pattern follows on from the last round of the Flower Wheel Coaster, please see this post for the pattern up to Round 8 and special stitch guidelines.

The next instalment of the series will be this circle squared – you will then be able to mix and match all the different squares so far to make a blanket/afghan or anything else you might fancy! You can share photos of the square on Instagram using #flowerwheelcircle and tagging me @saraphirdesigns.

It takes me a long time to design these patterns and to write them out – and running a website is not free. I have decided to keep my site ad-free, so if you like my patterns I’d appreciate it if you would consider donating towards the cost:





Thank you!

Time to share a few more photos of the squares I made for a cushion for a friend… I do love this combination and might have to play with colours again soon. Pattern is on my blog. ‘Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight…?’ 🎵🎶🎵 Whatever their ultimate purpose, delightful they are! After the rain…. My website is now all tidied up and up to date and I wrote a blog post about my ‘Friends Around The World Blanket’ as well. You can find links to the patterns on my blog and guide to how I evened out the size differences. You can find it on Saraphir dot com… meta are still blocking me and I can’t find my way around their systems. 😕 You can also check out all the cals on @calcrochetalong I meant to do my work today…. But the cherry blossom is out! Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely day wherever you are. I’ve spent the morning starting much needed tidying up of my website. This means going through all the posts and making sure all the links are up to date, my name is right and the format is the same. Happy Earth Day. ♥️ I loved these tapestries by @cindysherman at @arosartmuseum in Aarhus. Such incredible detail in the weaving and the thread is unbelievably thin… amazing skill by the weavers. A few more photos of my latest cushion cover…
