Beautiful 3-dimensional effect is achieved by clever smooth increases and decreases along the edges of the shapes, and alternate front and back post crochets throughout the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuite some attention was given to making sure the block when completed, lies flat and is evenly distributed, and that the corners do not create unattractive kite-shaped forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block is difficult to work in one sitting, and working it is hard on the wrists. It is also a yarn hog, using easily over 100 grams total for the 12\" size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are [round photos][1] available in the Spoiler Thread for this block, starting in Post 20.
