Using olive
Ch3, 2dc, ch3 dc, ch1 (all in the ch2 of r1)* skip to the next ch2 space of r1 and 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch1 * repeat 2 more times and join with beginning ch3

Here is the inspiration for this square! I was sitting a a yummy Italian place and thought of these colors! I wanted the grape portion to be rounder and fuller so I used the puff stitch to give it some variety.  I think this could also double for a violet or wine inspired square!

  1. I think I might try to make it into a granighan for a baby size and if it goes well perhaps make an afghan like it. It looks like a great stashbuster and I am loaded (overloaded) with yarn. Thank you for the pattern

  2. What is a 'magic circle'? I've been crocheting for over 30 years and have never heard of this.

On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel.
