Since my experiment last week, I’ve been wondering if I could do the reverse: tat a round shape with a square center?
I had great fun with Jane Eborall’s Fandango pattern. The center is a ring with a square added around it. Then, lots of negative space with basically a circular shape as the next round. Janemctats commented on my last post that crochet patterns go round to square all the time. Hhmmmmmmm.......
Would we need a scallop motif to go from square to round?
Would it be awkward and not lacy
enough? Hmmmmmmm…….
You won’t know for sure until you try it!
ReplyDeleteIn his two books, Jan Stawasz had some round doilies with square or diamond-shaped centers, so it's possible to do it. If I am remembering correctly, sometimes he used split rings, sometimes just ring and chain repeats for the 'round' that connected the points of the squares. If you've got his books, have a look-through them and see what he did with the idea. The pictures are beautiful enough just to look through the books when you want to relax for a few minutes.

I sat down today with the one Stawatz book I own. Good ideas. I also browsed Renata's Spring doily. I think Iris Neibach will have some ideas also.
