All Around the Mulberry Bush 12 in. Sq pattern

This is my original pattern for a 12 inch square that I call All Around the Mulberry Bush or All Around for short.


All Around the Mulberry Bush 12 inch Sq. by Anne Fatato Sept 2004


I do not have a gauge other than when finished you should have a square that is 12 inches all around when this is worked to 10 rounds.
This square uses two contrasting or complimentary colors of ww yarns & an H hook.

Working with color A chain 4 join with a sl st to form a ring. Ch 3, 2 dc (in ring now & for rest of round one); ch 2; 3 dc; ch 2; 3 dc; ch 2 & draw up a loop, join color B through the second chain st just made & work 3dc; ch 2 join with sl st to top of beginning ch 3 of color A.



Round 2 : continue working with CB by:
ch 3, working in same corner space work 2 dc; work 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next corner space; 3dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next corner space- leave off CB ... picking up CA - Ch 3, working in same corner space (should cover color join) work 2 dc, complete next corner sp by working 3 dc, ch 2, join w/ sl st to top of ch 3 of CB... go back to CB to complete round 2 . wk 3 dc in corner sp & ch2, join w/sl st to top of beginning ch 3 of CA.

Round 3 : (Pattern should be now established, CB "follows" CA) Working with CA: ch3, working in same corner sp wk 2 dc, ch 1, work dc in sp (makes the side); ch 1, (work corner) 3dc,ch2, 3dc; ch 1, 3 dc, ch1, work corner, ch 1, 3dc, ch 1, 3dc ... pick up CB ch3, wk 2dc in same corner space, ch 1, 3dc, ch1, finish corner by working 3 dc, ch 2, join w/sl st to top of chain 3 of CA. Go back to finish last corner by chaining 2 & joining w/sl st to top of ch 3 of CB.

Continue working around until round 9 is complete . To work round 10 (last round) finish off CA, and continue working with CB until round 10 is finished. You should have a 12 inch square.

There is one picture of this sq in my projects at Ravelry. If I get a chance I will work up another one just so I can have pictures to share. No promises as I'm really busy these days.

Anyway standard copyright ... don't sell my pattern if anyone is interested send them to my blog to get a copy of the pattern for themselves. If you find any errors let me know so I can correct them. Thanks!
