A Big Wheel, a few Swirly’s and a Circle or six.

SIZE:

• Small Circle – 6 cm x 6 cm
• Swirly Square – 8 cm x 8 cm
• Big Wheel – 26 cm x 26 cm

The Small Circle: (Make 6)

Note: 

I made two circles changing color every round and four circles changing color only on the last round.

Make a magic ring/or CH 4; SL ST into 4^th CH from hook to form a ring.

RND 1: CH1, work 6 SC into ring, join with a SL ST into first SC made (6 SC)
– (change color)

RND 2: CH1, work 2 SC into each ST around, join with a SL ST into first SC made (12 SC)
– (change color)

RND 3: CH1, work 1 SC into same ST, *work 2 SC into next ST, work 1 SC into next ST. ** Repeat from * to ** 4 more times, work 2 SC into next ST, join with a SL ST into first SC made (18 SC) – (change color)

RND 4: CH1, work 2 SC into same ST, *work 1 SC into next 2 STS, work 2 SC into next ST. ** Repeat from * to ** 4 more times, work 1 SC into next 2 STS, join with a SL ST into first SC made (24 SC) – (change color)

RND 5: CH1, work 1 SC into same ST, work 1 SC into next 2 STS, work 1 HDC into next ST, work 1 DC, 1 TR, 1 DC into next ST, work 1 HDC into next ST. *Work 1 SC into next 3 STS, work 1 HDC into next ST, work 1 DC, 1 TR, 1 DC into next ST, work 1 HDC into next ST. **
Repeat from * to ** twice more, join with a SL ST into first SC made.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Swirly Square: (Make 2)

Note: 

Might need a STITCH MARKER to help with the rounds because this square is made in continuous rounds.

Insert STITCH MARKER into first ST worked of every round – to help keep track of the start of each round.

Make a magic ring/or CH 4; SL ST into 4^th CH from hook to form a ring.

RND 1: Work 6 SC into ring.

RND 2: For this round work in back loops only – work 2 HDC into each ST (12 HDC)

RND 3: For this round work in back loops only –
*work 1 DC into next ST, work 2 DC into next ST. ** Repeat from * to **until last ST worked of this round.

RND 4: For this round work in back loops only – *work 1 DC into next 2 STS, work 2 DC into next ST. ** Repeat from * to ** until last ST worked of this round.

RND 5: *Work 1 SC into next 3 STS, work 1 HDC into next ST, work 1 DC, 1 TR, 1 DC into next ST, work 1 HDC into next ST. ** Repeat from * to **3 more times.

Change Color

RND 6: CH1, work 1 SC into each ST – but work 3 SC into each corner TR from previous round. Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Swirl is worked from the center of the square outwards.

Join new color yarn with a SC into the center exposed loop, work 1 SC into same loop.

Work 2 SC into each loop until 2nd last loop, work a SL ST into last loop.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
