“First Flower of the Year Square”

This block was originally designed for the Florence dress.
Later I have used the full square, half square, or part of the square, in several other projects, with different yarn- and hook-sizes.
Samples:

SANDALS
SHORTS
BIKINI-TOP
SWEATER
HAND WARMERS

As any granny-square, also this one change appearance according to yarn-size and quality, hook size, colors, and color combinations within the rounds.
The square has 10 rounds, quite large. You can however stop working in any round, and achieve a new square-design and measure, every time.

• This square will make a beautiful bed-spread or afghan!
• Looks great as summer-top or dress.
• Create a very special look in DK or heavier.
• Super for ponchos, cardigans or sweaters!
• Great for small projects like bags, cushion-covers, hats, or whatever your fantasy can imagine!

I love this square, as it’s so adaptable and useful! 
It’s not boring to work, or too complicated. It has everything from a circle, to plain stitches in a square, to the final wave-border, which makes it special.

ENJOY!!
