Here is the next one of my 6“ series for you. All squares are named and inspired by some great female musicians. While designing the squares, I listened to their music. For me, music is connecting people around the world just like crocheting. You just can understand it everywhere. That's what I really love about both of them. And if you like, you can hear their songs while working the squares. This time I listened to Heather B, a Hip Hop artist. The name of the pattern is the name of one of their songs.

For me, music is connecting people around the world just like crocheting. You just can understand it everywhere. That's what I really love about both of them. And if you like, you can hear their songs while working the squares. This time I listened to one of my favorite reggae artists- Jah9. She has many (self-)reflecting and spiritual texts. The name of the pattern is the name of one of her albums. So you can easily find if you want.

Glücksklee

 This year some bamcal members desired a little bit easier patterns. So I tried to design something interesting in skill level easy. No sure if I succeeded- it's up to you to test if it's interesting enough to have fun.

The theme is the clover with 4 leaves, german '' Glücksklee'' – to bring a bit luck to all of us. In the middle I played around with the 4- leaves- theme, in the outer rounds you can see a meadow with some clover leaves in it.

Hope you enjoy this quick and easy pattern. Good luck to everyone of you!

Pattern uses U.S. Terms

Hi to you all,

I think meanwhile all of you know- I love Ravelry's bamcal group. There is always someone there for helping out, creating new ideas, cheering up and so on.

Thanks so much to my testers Dani (danika2407 on ravelry), Chrisi (Callydrias on ravelry) and Vicky (pippin90). You did a very important and not easy job (as I tend to forget brackets, semicolons and so on...)

Blüte Monique

This one is named after my mum. I needed a birthday gift for her, and as she loves gardening, flowers and all that stuff, as well as handcrafted things, I created especially for her a sustainable gift box in a flower design. Each part of the flower is fixed on a small magnet. These magnets I put on a metal box. So you have a real pretty box and you can use the magnets for example on your refridgerator.

I used only leftover yarn for this small project, in DK size with a 4 mm hook, You can choose any yarn you find in your stash, as long as the sizes fit together and to your hook size.

Pattern uses U.S. Terms

Material:

• yarn of your choice

• hook

• scissors

• yarn needle

• 3 little magnets

• hot glue

• a little pearl for decoration (if wished)

Abbreviations (in alphabetic order):

• ch – chain

• dc – double crochet

• FO – fasten off

• hdc – half double crochet

• rd - round

• sc – single crochet

• slst – slip stitch

• sk – skip

• st – stitch

Special stitches:

Picot: ch 3, slst to the upper loops of the stitch just worked before the ch 3

Popcorn: 5 dc in indicated st. Remove hook from loop and insert into first dc. Take the actual loop again and pull through. Ch 1 to close.

Note: the first stitch of a round is a standing stitch, unless otherwise stated. If you don't feel comfortable with standing stitches, you can slst and work ch- stitches instead of the first st (ch 1 for sc, ch 2 for hdc, ch 3 for dc,...)

Pattern:

The blossom

1. ch 4, close to circle with slst. 8 sc into that circle. Slst to first sc. Do not FO. (8 sc)

2. 12 sc into the middle circle, over the rd 2 sc already there. Slst to first sc. FO (12 sc)

3. Work in front loops only. Start in any sc: (slst, ch 3, sk 1 st) x6. Slst to first slst. Do not FO. ( 6 ch- 3- spaces, 6 slst)

4. Work only in rd 4 ch- 3- spaces: slst into next ch-3- space, (3 sc, picot, 3 sc) x6. Slst to first sc. FO (18 sc, 6 picot)

5. Start in any 2^nd sc of a 3- sc- group before the picot: [sc, ch 1, pull picot in front of ch 1, sc in 3^rd sc of a 3 sc- group after the picot, popcorn into rd 3 front loop (where you already worked the rd 4 slst)] x6. Slst to first sc. FO (12 sc, 6 ch-1, 6 popcorn)

6. We still didn't work in every second stitch of rd 4 AND in all back loops of rd 4. That we will now do for the leaves. I recommend to use green yarn now. Work from the wrong side!

Turn your work. Start in a back loop st now lying in front of a popcorn: [slst, (3 dc, picot, 3 dc) all worked into the next stitch, was has been completely skipped] x6. Slst to first slst. FO.

Weave in all ends.

Fix the blossom with hot glue on the top of your magnet. If you want, you can decorate the middle with a small pearl.

The leaves (work 2 of them)

ch 9, 8 dc in second ch from hook, 2 hdc, 3 sc, picot. Turn your work 180° counterclockwise and work further on to the foundation ch, so that you work in a round: 3 sc, 2 hdc. Slst to first dc. FO.

Weave in ends. Fix every leaf on one magnet.

That's it! Have fun! Copyright April 2023 by Loewenzahm
