Yarn<\/strong>:\u00a0 Lorna\u2019s Laces Shepherd Sock \u2014 cream and \u201ccool\u201d (blues\/aquas); Tess Super Sock and Baby \u2014 light green and purples
\nPattern<\/strong>: Ring Around the Rosies
\nCompleted<\/strong>: April 24, 2016<\/p>\n

Using 3.00 or 3.5mm crochet hook (confusion between ancient (WWII) hook and new chinese industrial stamped one), \u201cRing Around the Rosy\u201d crochet pattern.<\/p>\n

Used cream as the centre and one of the alternating colours.\u00a0 Sage and blues were the other 2 alternating colours.<\/p>\n

For each colour, I did each chunk of petal completely before starting the next colour\/petal (and slip-stitching to attach the rows to the previous segment).\u00a0 On changing colours, I crocheted into the back loop (only) on the first round to give a bit of \u201cdepth\u201d and make it look like the next colour was coming from \u201cunder\u201d<\/p>\n

Pre-blocking:
\n33\u201d point to point diameter
\n27\u201d valley to valley diameter<\/p>\n

After blocking:
\n39\u201d point to point diameter
\n29\u201d valley to valley diameter<\/p>\n
