Sample square

Every once in a while, I come across a motif, design or element that's too good not to replicate. I found such a design last week.

I was browsing Ravelry, not really looking for anything specific, and I decided to search for anything made using the crocodile stitch. I turned up this gem of a square (designed by Joyce Lewis), that's going to be used in a future blanket project.

It took me about 10minutes to finish, and the key is to follow the instructions strictly. Fortunately, they are detailed and clear enough that you can't possibly go wrong once you get into the rhythm of the thing.

Anyway, enough blather...may I present, the crocheted Crocodile Dahlia Square!

Drum roll, please...

 

I love how its raised up from the square. I wanted it to look like a fat, flat flower on a bed of grass, so I went with white for the center, pink crocodile stitch petals, and the green for the backing square.

I love it!
