| Winter Bliss Square by The Perfect Knot |
Hello my Tangled Friends!
I know I have been MIA for several months now and I have definitely missed all of you!
Life gets in the way of play and sometimes you just have to put play on hold.
Anyway though... I'm BACK!!!!!!! And I have a goodie for you all to play with!
It's winter time in the US here and my brain is thinking "I want snow", while my body is going "Not yet!" LOL. So to fight the war between the two, I opted for Snow in Yarn! That way everyone wins and you can be warm while thinking cold. ;)
So without any further ado, here is the Free Pattern I promised you!
Enjoy and happy crocheting!

Stitches or Directions:
Triple Loop
Start: Alternative to a Magic Circle that does not slide open like
a traditional Magic Circle.
HOW TO DO A
TRIPLE LOOP START: Wrap yarn around finger 3 times, insert hook under
first 2 loops, catch 3rd loop with hook and pull through under the 2
loops on your finger. Once you pull the loop through, then you will begin your
chain to secure the loops and start your first stitch. You will pull the tail
of the yarn from the loop to close the loop tight. You may need to pull one
strand of the loop & then the second strand of the loop so that you can
fully close the yarn tail of the loop.
Your square should measure 6” when completed.
