PATTERN!! : pinwheel square

My sister gave me some dog chewed cushions a few months ago for me to 'do something creative with', so I'm working on some new covers for them...this is my favourite (not quite finished yet)...

...and thought I'd share the pattern with you :)

The pattern is just for the individual pinwheel square. Obviously, to make the whole panel, make more of them and sew them together and edge with rounds of doubles, trebles etc to the required size! ;-)

This pattern is in UK terms and uses ss = slip stitch, ch = chain, dc = double crochet, htr = half treble, tr = treble crochet.

Using DK yarn and a 5mm hook made a 5inch square.

Please use the pattern for your own use only and not for items you intend to sell. Thankyou 

:-)
