Weldon's Ninth Series - Pretty Pattern for Using Odds and Ends of Wool

This week we have the Pretty Pattern with no illustration. I'm putting a photo of the instructions below and if you read through them you'll quickly realize what kind of pattern this is. Hint: "The work is crocheted in squares which are afterwards joined together." 

If you read through the color scheme you'll notice that while they are giving you an option to use "odds and ends" they also want you to use some of the same colors in the middle and on the outside to give it a cohesive look. Their color scheme from inside out goes like this: white, yellow, "other color that may be at command", black. The edging is done in amber, green and crimson. I decided to do just one square with the edging in some scraps that were in gradient shades that I had left over from a shawl. I used an F hook which is close to the same size as a No. 9 bone needle they suggest.

The square under the yarn is an illustration of a "Square Medallion for an Antimacassar"

By now you may have figured out that this is just a granny square. The square itself was easy enough to make but the edging was a little harder to read. I think I got it but I didn't like how it looked on the square. If I'd done a dozen squares and added the edging it probably would have looked better. The first photo below has the edging all the way through the last of the 3 rounds with the lighter color being the "ball edging" round. In the second photo, I've pulled out the third round of the edging and blocked it without it. The edging doesn't quite line up with the other stitches and again, if I'd done more squares and sewn them together it might have looked fine.

Scoring:
Is the pattern easy to understand? Yes. I thought they did a good job on the granny square part though there are places where they could have used "repeat x times" and it would have been easy to read than listing out every stitch. .90
Does it look like the illustration? .50 (Standard answer for patterns without one)
Would someone wear or use this? Yes. It is a pretty little square. 1.0 
Did I enjoy making it? Yes. The colors I used made it more fun but it would be pretty in their color scheme too. 1.0

Total Score: 3.4

Next week I have the tenth series patterns and illustrations to share.
