Weldon's 11th Series - The Square for a Quilt

I set out to make this raised square pattern for a quilt but it did not go well. I knew it would be a little more complicated than the other square I made but I had no idea the pattern would make it even harder.

The pattern tells you what stitches go into the square but doesn't necessarily give you a start to finish round. For example round three says, "1 double crochet on each of the three double crochets along the side, 3 double crochet on the centre stitch of the three double crochet for the corners." This is fine because it's a fairly simple row but they kept it up as it got more complicated.  Round 4 had you turn the work and make the tufts on the wrong side but there wasn't any instructions on when to turn back. I restarted this project three times and then gave up. The was the end of my last attempt.

I wanted to have a project for this week so I turned back to the Second Series and tried out a tricot (aka Tunisian) stitch called the Josephine Stitch. There was no photo for the stitch but it is described as, "a pretty variety of tricot stitch, and being light and lacey comes in very handy for shawls, scarfs, antimacassars &c." I'm not sure antimacassars would be very protective of the furniture if they're lacy but it sounded interesting and I haven't tried a tricot stitch from Weldon's yet.
The directions says you can use any wool you want to and assumes you'll pick the appropriate hook. I used a skein of Knit Picks Swish DK in Pale Lemon and 5.5mm Tunisian hook. The directions were pretty easy to follow and did make a lacy strip of...something. 

Here is the finished stitch pattern that I intended to make as a scarf but it's only about 4.5 feet long which seems a little short on me. Still it's a fun pattern and would look cute in a swim cover up or a lacy shawl.

I'm not going to rate the unfinished project but I'll give the Josephine stitch a 3.5 out of 4. 
It was easy to understand. Someone would wear it and I enjoyed making it. The only thing that dropped it down that half point was that there was no drawing to compare to.
