It's interesting timing that you should do this now, it's like you read my mind!? I've been trying out some of your squares recently and have very much appreciated your guidance and assistance along the way. If you remember I was trying to work out which square would go well with the lovely Wispy Willow and ended up settling on the updated version of your Daisy square, not sure why mine looks so different however as yours looks so pretty and ornate, mine looks like a Tim Burton version somehow!?! :) Mainly happened because of different colour choices due to the colour I wanted not being available anywhere where I live (Australia, we have VERY limited choices when it comes to your #4 weight which is our 10 ply). So I had to go with a darker sort of bottle green, a light grey and a stark white as there's no ivory in 10 ply here. When I was trying to decide I had been eyeing off the Flora hexagon but thought I couldn't use it because it was a different shape, hence why I went with the Daisy instead, if only I'd waited! It's alright as I appreciate how much I'm learning along the way! You had suggested that you might do a video on how to choose the right colour choices so that it's balanced and that's something I could really, really use!! So I wanted to ask you, have you thought about if there's a way to change your octagons into a square as well?? I first discovered you from your Sand Dollar octagon (I think that's what shape it is?) and was knocked out by how gorgeous it was, breathtaking! I always wanted to try making it, so now that I have been tackling some of your other masterpieces I would like to give that a go when I've finished making my cushion cover. It would be amazing to do that but make it into a square shape to then use in a cardigan or jumper, so if you have any tips on that or would consider making a video to show us how to do that I would be extremely grateful!! Also lastly, have you ever considered using one of your hexagon designs to make a hexagon jumper or cardigan, the kind where you turn one large hexagon into a garment section by the way you fold it?? Obviously it would need to have more rounds repeated but I've been wondering lately how that would turn out and what it might look like??? Sorry this got so long, too many thoughts and questions, but that's a good thing, it means you're inspiring my creativity and I very much thank you for that!! :)

Awesome, I do remember, the Daisy is a good one to go with Wispy Willow too. Sometimes you have to make the square a couple times to work out your tension. Yes, our yarn weights are different unfortunately as are our crochet terms, makes it tricky between continents lol. The colour video is coming along, I'm actually trying to explain how I pick the colours even to myself. Just many years of practice and only a bit of colour theory, but working on that. Octagon's are actually easier than Hexagons to make into a square simply because they have 8 sides and it is easier to figure out where the corners go. I have the Sand Dollar made into a square and that tutorial is in the works as well. I have never tried one of the hexagon cardigans, not pulled to try that yet, but perhaps some day. Enjoy and thanks so much for watching! 😊

Excellent !!!!!

Thank you 😊

[@Lobster333]

love it love it love it ❤❤❤👌💯

[@jspcreate]

Thank you

[@cindyharmon9059]

Love everything about you! I know you have a reason, can you tell me why in the corners you chain 3? I mean why not two?

[@jspcreate]

Thanks so much! When I am doing squares I like my corners to be sharp and I find a ch 3 gives it space to do that. Sometimes I will use a ch 2, but I do find for me this gives it a bit more of a rounded corner. Sometimes though this is the look I am going for. So I say, do whatever feels right for you and what you like the look of the best, either will work.

Thank you so much for your wonderful brilliant tutorials. Would you please answer my question? How do you calculate the stitches from corner to corner when converting from a round or a hexagon to a square? I'm curious because I need 10 times to try before I get there 😂 😂 😂😂😂

[@jspcreate]

You are very welcome. I actually don’t have a mathematical formula for it. It depends on the size of the piece and the number of sts involved, so basically a bit of trial and error is involved. The way I work it out is to place my circle or hexagon on a square of paper the size I want, then just like the diagram in the video I put an X through it. This tells me which stitch the corner will fall into. Then I work the height of the stitches accordingly, based on the gauge of the piece I’m doing. Hope that helps. I may have to do another tutorial on this technique as well. Thank you for asking.

Puo' tradurre in ITALIANO TROBBE belle grazie.

KZbin looks after the translating. You can go to the settings and choose your preferred language and then CC will translate it on the screen for you. Thanks for watching.

[@kevywilliams3304]

4:00 it’s not that hard .. it’s the space between the two singles

[@DebbieOguin-t2g]

Looks complicated

[@jspcreate]

The only round that has some work to it is the 8th round and it is just a mix of hdc, dc and tr stitches to make the corners fit. Looks more complicated than it actually is!

[@christinenolan1418]

It may look complicated but truly it’s not. Give it a try and you’ll be surprised.
