Lace Flower Square

So the time has finally come to publicize the pattern for my new (and first!) lace flower square. It is quite exciting really to have made my first square and I am sure there will be more following in the near future. It came out of a need to make a flower square for my tealight holders that was more lacy than the one I had been using previously and I decided to rework my flower earrings and make them into a square. I am happy with the result and it really works for tealight holders.

For the tealight holders I use 3-ply linen yarn, but for the ones on the photos here I used Patons 4-ply and DK in 100% cotton. I plan to make them in wool as well – I think they would make a nice summer baby blanket.

The pattern is written out in UK terms and US terms. You can see a guide to the abbreviations here. Please remember that this is my design. You are welcome to sell what you make with this pattern, but please credit me as the designer or, if you sell online, post a link to my pattern. You may not sell or redistribute this pattern in any way or pass it off as your own work.

Thank you!
