Square #70: Desert Lily Square


Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Yarn needed: at least 2 colors medium (4) worsted weight yarn

Skills needed: chain, slip stitch, 
double crochet


Notes: This has fun cluster stitches, which the pattern fully explains.  The pattern calls for a G hook, and since we're using an H, I quit after the 4th round.  It might be a bit smaller than 6" so I would recommend going another round or so.

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Yarn needed: colors medium (4) worsted weight yarn

Skills needed: chain, slip stitch, single crochet,
 half double crochetdouble crochettreble crochet




Notes: Look guys, this pattern was hard. And it's still not right. A note on something confusing is in the petal pattern, the sc and hdcs are worked down the chain rather than all in one loop like I originally thought. Also I could never make the base turn out no matter how many times I redid it so who knows what's going on there. Anyway, don't get discouraged!
