Notes

Pattern test for Helenmclean
(@ThreeLoopsOnTheHook on IG).

Thought a change for me using pastel colours (instead of my usual brights) would be good - but I really don’t like my colour choices!! Need to try again with more variation in brights.

Pattern is great and will look so much better with different colours…!

Did 2 squares for the pattern test:
Square A (frill)
Square B (plain)

Weights (after 2 squares):
Buttermilk: 79.82g / 67.1g / (13g)
Lilac: 71.84g / 70.49g / (2g)
Lime: 27.82g / 24.85g/ (3g)
Peppermint: 100.91g / 99.77g / (1g)

(The limey-green colour is more pastel IRL)

Update:

Did 2 more squares in different colours (need to check weights). Prefer these colours, with lilac as the main colour.

Weights (after 2 further squares):
Lilac: 70.49g / 57.57g / (13g)
Fuchsia: 97.3g / ? / (?2g)
Apple: 54.39g / ??g/ (?3g)
Mint: 30.97g / 30g / (1g)

Total Weight used for 4 squares:
Buttermikk: 13g
Lilac: 2g +13g =15g
Lime: 3g
Peppermint: 1g
Mint: 1g
Apple: ?3g
Fuchsia: ?2g
