A Little Stranger

These are the basic patterns i’ve been using but you can use any pattern you like as long as the result is a 5″x5″ square :)

Each square is 5″ x 5″ (13 x 13 cm). I’ve been crocheting them using a 4mm needle and mostly 4 ply yarn (im just using up random bits and bobs of yarn so theres some chunky and thinner stuff thrown in there, too)

Knitting Pattern:
Using 4mm needles cast on 26 stitches, knit 40 rows, cast off.  Simples

Crochet Pattern: Here’s the pattern i’ve *mostly* been using (As the wool has been irregular thickesses i’ve sometimes omitted a row of 3-dc clusters, or swaped the last dc round for a sc to keep them the same size)

With Color A, ch 5, join to form a ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 3 (counts as a dc in this and all following rnds), 2 dc in ring; (ch 3, 3 dc in ring) 3 times; ch 3; join in 3rd ch of beg ch-3; sl st to the next ch 3 space).
Rnd 2: Ch 3, in same sp work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; * ch 1, sk next 3 dc, in next ch-3 sp work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; rep from * twice more; ch 1, sk next 3 dc; join in 3rd ch of beg ch-3:

Rnd 3: Join color B in any ch-3 corner sp: ch 3, in same sp work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; * ch 1, sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp: 3-dc group made; ch 1, sk next 3 dc, in next ch-3 corner sp work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; rep from * twice more; ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-l sp: 3-dc group made; ch 1, sk next 3 dc; join in 3rd ch of beg ch-3.

Rnd 4: Ch 3, in same sp work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; * (ch 1, sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp) twice; ch 1, sk next 3 dc, in next ch-3 comer sp work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; rep from * twice more; (ch 1, sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp) twice; ch 1, sk next 3 dc; join in 3rd ch of beg ch-3.

Rnd 5: Join color C in any ch-3 corner sp; ch 3, in same sp work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; * (ch 1, sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp) twice; ch 1, sk next 3 dc, in next ch-3 comer sp work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc): corner made; rep from * twice more; (ch 1, sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-1 sp) twice; ch 1, sk next 3 dc; join in 3rd ch of beg ch-3; finish off.

Rnd 6: ch 2, sc 1 *(2 sc into next ch-1sp, sdc) until ch-3 sp. 2 sc into ch-3 sp, ch 2, 2sc into ch-3 sp.  Rep from * to end of round, join to first ch-2. tie end off
