Tiny Puddle Pattern

This Tiny Puddles pattern is just one in the Flower Puddles Collection.

Hook size: 4.5mm hook

Yardage: 20 yards

Yarn used in sample photos: 100% Cotton , DK worsted weight. Hue-Mongous Yarn is a robust DK yarn that falls on the thick side of a 3 weight.

Continuous Pattern: The pattern is written so that you can use one continuous yarn to complete the entire piece but if you prefer to change colors throughout, do so at the “join” of each Round to get the best results.

Hue-Mongous yarn color guide for tutorial below:

R1: Larry Salad (Dark Green)
R2: Wrong Lever (Deep Purple)
R3: Oh Kermie (Lime Green)
R4: Shrantastic (Cyan)
R5: Babble Fish (Yellow)
R6: Yorange (Yellow-Orange)
R7: Safety Dance (Orange)

This is a slightly modified version of the Tiny Puddle than the one previously published. It has been updated to seamlessly work with the Hue-Mongous Tiny Puddle Pillow and Throw pattern.

    I have only done basic crocheting for many years and thought this would be a fun challenge 🙂
    Your instructions are really good. So far I’ve made two of these and they are fun to make. Very pretty. They remind me of a kaleidoscope.
