This motif is knit without shape, meaning it naturally will be a circular shape. However, it can easily be blocked to other shapes, including square and hexagon (6 sided). Square doesn’t look as pleasing as hexagon because of the multiple used in the petals. I would prefer to re-design the motif to have either 4 petals or 8 to make a square motif. Leaving it circular and sewing up the sides as 4 sides, but leaving the corners unsewn would be a beautiful compromise between a circle and a square motif.

Suggested uses: This motif would be beautiful as a long scarf, a cowl, a shawl (triangular or rectangular) an afghan, a sweater. The possibilities are endless! I can also see this being a beautiful earring in fine gauge wire. Or framed in a metal ring for a dreamcatcher or wall hanging. This motif has tons of possibilities.
