Rambling Roses Square and Friendship Blanket CAL

Last Updated on July 11, 2024

I designed this square as a part of the Friendship Blanket CAL.

This awesome CAL is hosted by Helen from Sunflower Cottage Crochet and is a collaboration of 25 designers, where each designer designed a square for this blanket, the blanket is made of 40 squares.

Skill level – easy

Materials
–Crochet hook 4 mm / G-6 (I love the Furls and Clover Hooks)
– 60 gr Aran/Worsted weight yarn (100gr – 170m/186yd).
I used Lion Brand – 24/7 Cotton

Finished Size – 9×9 in (22.9×22.9 cm)

Notes
– Make sure you have 41 sts in each row (except of rows 2 & 10).
– Another easy way to make sure you have the correct number of stitches, is when you have 13 roses in a row.
– The right side of the square is the wrong side of the 3dc rows (the last row of the pattern is the right side).
– The pattern is a multiple of 6, you can change the width of the square as you’d like.

Abbreviations (US)
ch – chain
ss – slip stitch
blo – back loop only
flo – front loop only
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
