Log 1 With E, draw up a loop in any ch2-space.
Row 1 (RS) Ch 1, sc in same space and in each of next 5 sts. Sc in next ch2-space ñ 7 scs. Rows 2-4 Ch 1, turn. Sc in each sc across. At end of Row 4, fasten off. Repeat on opposite side of Square.
Log 2
With RS facing and G, draw up a loop in last row of either of Logs 1.
Row 1 (RS) Ch 1, sc in end of 4 rows of Log 1. Sc in ch2-space of center square and in next 5 sts. Sc in next ch2-space and in next 4 rows of Log 1 -- 15 scs.
Rows 2-4 Ch 1, turn. Sc in each sc across. At end of Row 4, fasten off.
Repeat on opposite side.
Log 3
With RS facing and F, draw up a loop in last row of either of Logs 2.
Row 1 (RS) Ch 1, sc in end of 4 rows of Log 2. Sc in next 7 scs, sc in end of next 4 rows ñ 15 scs.
Rows 2-4 Ch 1, turn. Sc in each sc across. At end of Row 4, fasten off. Repeat on opposite side. Log 4 Repeat pattern for Log 3 in C, adding sts as necessary ñ 23 sts.
Log 5
Repeat pattern for Log 3 in D, adding sts as necessary ñ 23 sts.
Log 6
Repeat pattern for Log 3 in B, adding sts as necessary ñ 31 sts.
SQUARE BORDER
With RS facing and E, draw up a loop in 3rd sc to the left of corner sc in last log.
Rnd 1 (RS) Ch 1, sc in same sc. *Ch 1, skip 1 sc (or 1 row), sc in next sc (or in end of next row). Repeat from * around, working at each corner: ch 1, skip 1 sc (or 1 row), (sc, ch 2, sc) in next corner sc. At end of rnd, ch 1, skip last sc, join to beg sc. Fasten off.
Rnd 2 (RS) With RS facing and A, draw up a loop in first ch1-space to the left of any corner ch2-space.
Ch 1, sc in same space. *Ch 1, skip next sc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next ch1-space. Ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next ch1-space. Repeat from * around, working at each corner ch2-space:
Ch 1, skip next sc, (sc, ch 4, sc) in next ch2-space, ch 1, skip next sc**, sc in next ch1- space. At end of rnd, work last corner pattern to **. Join to beg sc. Fasten off.
Arrange squares 3 x 5 with direction of logs alternating or in any desired pattern. Join on 1 or 2 sides as necessary while working Square Border Rnd 2.
To join ch2-spaces Continue in pattern st, ch 1, drop loop, draw loop under to over through opposite ch2-space, ch 1 and continue.
To join at corners Ch 2, drop loop, draw loop under to over through opposite ch4-space, ch 2 and continue.
To join where 4 corners meet Ch 2, drop loop, draw loop under to over through opposite ch4-space, ch 1, drop loop, skip next ch4-space, draw loop under to over through next ch4-space, ch 2 and continue.
When all squares are joined, work border.
BORDER
NOTES
On border rnds, unless otherwise specified, work in specified sts and spaces only, skipping over other sts.
Shell = (3 dcs, ch 2, 3 dcs).
With WS facing and A, draw up a loop in first ch2-space to the right of corner ch4-space on either long side edge.
Rnd 1 (WS) Ch 1, (sc, ch 2, sc) in same space. Work corner ch 3, (sc, ch 2, sc) in first corner sc. (Sc, ch 4, sc) in corner ch4-space, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next sc. *Ch 3, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next ch2-space. Repeat from * around, working at each joining seam: Ch 3, (sc, ch 2, sc) in sc to the right of joining. Ch 3, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next sc. Then continue pattern around, working corner pattern at remaining 3 corners. At end of rnd, hdc in beg sc to join and form last space. Turn, slip st to next ch2-space.
Rnd 2 (RS) Ch 1, sc in same space. *Shell in next ch2-space, sc in next ch2-space. Repeat from * around, working at each corner: Ch 1, (3 dcs, ch 3, 3 dcs) in corner ch4- space, ch 1, sc in next ch2-space. At end of rnd, join last shell to beg sc. Fasten off.
With RS facing and E, draw up a loop in sc between any 2 shells near center of either long side edge.
Rnd 3 (RS) Ch 1, sc in same sc. *[Ch 1, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc]. Ch 1, skip 1 dc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next ch2-space. Repeat between [ ], ch 1, skip next dc**, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around working at each corner: Ch 1, skip next ch1-space, sc in next dc. Ch 1, skip next dc, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next dc. (Sc, ch 3, sc) in corner ch3-space. (Sc, ch 2, sc) in next dc. Ch 1, skip next dc, sc in next dc. Ch 1, skip next ch 1 space, sc in next sc. At end of rnd, repeat pattern from * to **. Join to beg sc, fasten off. |
