August 1972 - The Winner

The pansy bouquet pattern is the winner for August.    I thought the place mat would do better because I had the special yarn for it but it only got 4 votes.  

The materials:

• Coats & Clark "Knit-Cro-Sheen" in three colors; green, shaded lavender, and purple.  I have green, shaded lavender and lavender.
• Millinery Wire.   I have floral wire and some other random wires.  
• Steel crochet hook size 7 or size needed for gauge (even though there isn't a gauge given...)  I have a 1.75 mm steel hook.   A size 7 is 1.65 mm.

The pattern:

Each pansy consists of a flower, five calyx petals, two short leaves and two long leaves.  The crochet directions seem easy but the finishing directions are somewhat short so I may be winging it on that part.  I think I'm only going to do one pansy to start with and see how that goes.

Next week I'll tell you about my next big project!
