This “Multi-Purpose Lattice Star”<\/strong> motif is a favorite among designers because it is mathematically balanced. It is solid enough to be a warm Sweater<\/strong>, lacy enough to be a summer Blouse<\/strong>, and flat enough to serve as a Table Runner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By changing your yarn weight, you change the purpose of this single pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddf6 The Multi-Purpose Lattice Star Motif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This motif is worked in 5 rounds<\/strong>. It features a floral center that transitions into a “granny-style” lattice, making it very easy to join to other squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Instructions (US Terms)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Round 1: The Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Start:<\/strong> Make a Magic Ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stitches:<\/strong> ch 3 (counts as dc), work 15 dc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Join:<\/strong> sl st to the top of ch 3. (16 dc total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Round 2: The “Star” Eyelets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. ch 5<\/strong> (counts as 1 dc + ch 2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Repeat:<\/strong> [dc in next stitch, ch 2]<\/em> in every stitch around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Join:<\/strong> sl st to the 3rd chain of the starting ch 5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Result: You should have 16 “spokes” with ch-2 spaces between them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Round 3: Squaring the Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We now turn the 16 spokes into 4 sides and 4 corners.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. First Corner:<\/strong> ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3<\/strong>, 3 dc (all in the same space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. The Side:<\/strong> * ch 1, skip one space.\n
          \n
        • 3 dc in the next space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • ch 1, skip one space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Repeat:<\/strong> [Corner (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc), ch 1, skip space, 3 dc in next, ch 1, skip space]<\/em> around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Join:<\/strong> sl st to the top of ch 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Round 4: The Lattice Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. sl st<\/strong> across the dc stitches until you reach the ch-3 corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Corner:<\/strong> ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3<\/strong>, 3 dc. ch 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. The Side:<\/strong> * 3 dc in the next ch-1 space. ch 1.\n
              \n
            • 3 dc in the next ch-1 space. ch 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat:<\/strong> Corner in every corner, and two 3-dc clusters on every side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Join:<\/strong> sl st to top of ch 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Round 5: The Finishing Edge (Joining Round)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              If you are making a garment, this is where you connect to other squares.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. sc<\/strong> in every dc stitch around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. In the Corners:<\/strong> Work (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Fasten off<\/strong> and weave in ends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udcd0 Assembly Guide for Different Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                1. The Table Runner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Layout:<\/strong> Arrange motifs in a 2 x 10 grid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Tip:<\/strong> Use a “Whip Stitch” to join them so the runner lies perfectly flat on your table. Add a tassel to the four outer corners for a “Magnificent” look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  2. The Magnificent Blouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Layout:<\/strong> Create two large panels (Front and Back). A standard medium blouse is usually 4 motifs wide by 4 motifs high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Assembly:<\/strong> Join the shoulders, leaving the center 2 motifs open for the head. Join the sides, leaving the top 1.5 motifs open for the arms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Drape:<\/strong> Because of the ch-2 spaces in Round 2, the blouse will breathe well and move with your body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    3. The Cozy Sweater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Layout:<\/strong> Same as the blouse, but add Sleeves<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Sleeves:<\/strong> Create a tube of motifs (usually 3 motifs wide) and attach them to the armholes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Tip:<\/strong> Use a fuzzy wool yarn. The “holes” in the motif will trap warm air, making it very insulating despite the lacy look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n

                      \u2728 Design Secret: The “Color Melt”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                      To make this motif look professional, try Ombr\u00e9 Shading<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • Round 1-2: Darkest Color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Round 3-4: Medium Color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Round 5: Lightest Color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        This creates a “glow” effect from the center of each square, making your finished garment look high-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
