This was a housewarming present for someone who lives near fields and water. I crocheted around the edge. The pattern tends to contract, so additional repeats would have been required to make it truly square.
This pattern could also be enlarged to make place mats.
I'm using the Bernat soft blue "Soft boucle" acrylic I got in trade for some of my wool to make a top-down raglan/sweatshirt equivalent, using this pattern: Comfy Raglan from The Knitteur.com So far it's going well. I'm about half way down the yoke. I'm mulling the idea of using a contrasting color--maybe gray--somewhere to give it a little more structure.
