Another simple to do circle motif. The last round features spike-stitches, I think they create an interesting look. Like!

Beyond the Square: Motif # 44

Motif # 44

Category: Hexagons

Progress: 17 of 100+

Notes:
This one's so cute! Unfortunately you're not getting an idea of the original sizes of the motifs, because all of my pictures have got the same size, so let me tell you: this one is rather small. The center of the motif is quite interesting: it starts with a magic ring and 12 sc's inside the ring - and for the second round you work 24 sc's over the stitches of the first round into the ring! This way you have a nice, round and solid center - this idea could come in useful for an own design one day!

Beyond the Square: Motif # 15

Motif # 15

Category: Circles

Progress: 16 of 100+

Notes:
Here I've learned something new (and I hoped I would when I started this Challenge): making diagonal front post dc's! They're not more difficult than "normal" front post stitches, but they provide an interesting effect, don't you think? Imagine this motif much larger, it would probably look even more interesting! Maybe a Potholder? Or a cover for a round cushion?

Beyond the Square: Motif # 106

Motif # 106

Category: Squares

Progress: 15 of 100+

Notes:
A square with lots of back post dc's, love 'em! The only thing that bothers me a little about this motif, is that the edges still aren't straight although I've blocked it with lots of pins along the sides. I can imagine a huge cushion cover with this pattern, something I should keep in mind!
