Happy Christmas everyone! I hope you’ve had a wonderful time. I’ve alternated between being social and semi-hibernation, but also finally found time to finalise the pattern for the next stage of my Flower Wheel Mandala Series – The Large Flower Wheel Coaster Square. This is the fourth instalment of the series, following on from the Flower Wheel Coaster, the Small Flower Wheel Coaster Square and the Medium Flower Wheel Coaster Square. The Large Flower Wheel Coaster Square is noticeably larger than the medium as it allows 2 of the medium and 3 of the small squares along the sides. The plan is to be able to mix and match them all in the end.
The squares can be made with any yarn – the ones on the photos are made with Scheepjes Catona and a 3 mm hook (4-ply), Drops Belle and a 4 mm hook (DK) and Drops Nepal and a 5 mm hook (Aran), but any yarn and colour scheme would work. The square with Aran yarn measures 60 cm/23.5 inches across and you need 490 m yarn for it (75 m per 50 g ball). The DK weight yarn measures 48 cm/19 inches across and you need 440 m yarn for it (120 m per 50 g ball).
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!
