MYSTICAL LANTERNS QUARTER MOTIF

1/7/2021

 
A few months ago I posted the instructions for how to make a half motif for my Mystical Lanterns design in order to achieve straight vertical sides. You can find the post here on the blog. What I didn't think about at the time is the fact that you may also want to create right angled corner motifs, so today I finally got around to sorting this out!

You will need to make 2 different corner motifs - I have referred to these as left and right throughout the following instructions:

Using your first colour choice, start by making 4ch and join with a ss to form a ring.

Left Motif Foundation Round: 4ch (counts as 1tr & 1ch), 3tr into ring, 3ch, 2tr into ring, fasten off. (6sts & 2 ch-sps)

Right Motif Foundation Round: 3ch (counts as 1tr) 1tr into ring, 3ch, 3tr into ring, 1ch, 1tr into ring, fasten off (6sts & 2 ch-sps)

Using next colour choice:

Left Motif Round 1: join yarn into ch-sp at beginning of last round by working 1ch + 2ch (counts as 1tr), 2tr into same ch-sp, 1ch, [3tr, 3ch, 3tr] into next ch-sp, 1ch, skip next tr, 1tr into final st, fasten off. (10sts & 2 ch-sps)

Right Motif Round 1: join yarn into 3rd ch made at beginning of last round by working 1ch + 3ch (counts as 1tr & 1ch), [3tr, 3ch, 3tr] into next ch-sp, 1ch, 3tr into next ch-sp, fasten off. (10sts & 2 ch-sps)

Using next colour choice: 

Left Motif Round 2: join yarn into top of st made at beginning of last round by working 1ch + 5ch (counts as 1tr & 3ch), skip 1ch, 1dc into each next 2ch, 2tr into (same) st at base of 6ch, 3tr into next ch-sp, [3tr, 3dtr] into next ch-sp, dtr2tog into final ch-sp, fasten off. (15sts)

Right Motif Round 2: join yarn into ch-sp made at beginning of last round by working 1ch + 3ch, 1dtr into same ch-sp (counts as dtr2tog), [3dtr, 3tr] into next ch-sp, [3tr into next ch-sp] twice, 3ch, skip 1ch, 1dc into each next 2ch, ss into top of last tr, fasten off. (15sts)

Using next colour choice: 

Left Motif Round 3: join yarn into skipped ch at motif tip by working 1ch (does not count as a st) 2dc into same skipped ch, 1dc into each next 10sts, 2dc into next st, 1dc not each next 3sts, 2dc into final st, fasten off. (19sts)

Right Motif Round 3: join yarn into top of dtr2tog made  at beginning of last round by working 1ch (does not count as a st), 2dc into same st, 1dc into each next 3sts, 2dc into next st, 1dc into each next 10sts, 2dc into skipped ch at motif tip, fasten off. (19sts)

Because of the curly nature of crochet my quarter motifs do not look brilliantly right angled, but when added into a project alongside the other motifs they will pull into shape and create a great corner. Don't forget that you will need to make 2 of each.

I love seeing my projects worked in other colour ways and really enjoy following the progress of your projects on social media. Big thanks go to Lyn of Silvery Paws who brought it to my attention that I had not posted instructions for a quarter motif. Lyn created her own corner pieces for her recent Mystical Lanterns project and made a brilliant job of it!

If you fancy having a go at making this project you can find my original pattern here. I have published 3 versions - one is for a blanket, another is for a shawl and the third is for a scarf. All patterns are also available as downloads via my Ravelry & Etsy stores.
