You keep building from triangle to square,
turning one way or the next depending on the final size you want to achieve.
That's as far as I got.
You do have to keep thinking about which way you are going with this,
so you have to pay attention! But I rather like the concept.
I'll show you the completed square soon.
Best wishes,
Frivole
It's beautiful and fun to see the development of it too😄
ReplyDeletePrêt y! Is that a subtly variegated écru?
ReplyDeleteMust be a trick of the light Michelle! It's just an unusual pale brownish colour, not really ecru even. I had that in my stash for some time and never felt inspired to use it.
DeleteBit mind boggling! But clever.
ReplyDeleteDas ist ein s ehr schönes Muster und gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Farbe ecru ist dafür sehr schön.
ReplyDeleteIch bin auf das fertige Werk sehr gespannt.
I love seeing works in progress! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteClever pattern, looking forward to seeing it finished
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing already!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHuh, cool. Wonder how difficult it is to generate these sorts of patterns on one's own?
ReplyDeleteIngenious design! Looks very challenging to keep track of.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a bit at the moment! Requires concentration but I think once you got to grips with the principle, it will get easier. :-)
DeleteThe new pattern is a novel adaptation of the classic magic square. It replaces the single ring "center" with the five ring cluster -- the middle ring plays the same role.. the symmetry is still there, the sequence is still the same -- if you want to break out and expand to the next larger triangle. I was confused at first about how to quit.. but you just close the last cluster up tight.
ReplyDeleteIt's my first go with a magic square design, I'd not heard of it before. The principle is a great idea though. I'm working the simplest form of it to get to grips with the concept. :-)
DeleteThe Magic Square is really beautiful, and has me intrigued. Where might I purchase the pattern?
DeleteHi Shirla, the pattern is available in Robin's shop on Etsy - here is the link:
