Margaret Square

A pattern test for A Yarn of Serendipity

In April, I was able to test another design by Pam Knighton-Haener from A Yarn of Serendipity.

As the name suggests, she designed this lovely square for a person who had a decisive influence on the course of her artistic career: Margaret!

My test version

For my test version, I used a combination of Drops Paris and Drops Love You 8. Both yarns are 100% cotton and classified as #4, Aran / worsted weight yarns. The yardage is between 75m and 85m per 50g.

Edit, May 2026: it looks like Drops Love you 8 is discontinued, but the colours are still available in the Paris range.

I followed Pam’s colourway 1 and only replaced the colours:

Colour A / 17, Off White

Colour B / 30, Jeans Blue

Colour C / 62, Sage Green

I love the result! Especially the combination of Blue and Sage. It’s kind of calming and one of my favorite combinations.

Using a 4,5 mm hook my blocked square is about 30 cm / 12 inch.

I thoroughly enjoyed testing this design. Pam’s patterns are always incredibly detailed and well-thought-out!

The skill level of this design is intermediate but every stitch is explained clearly. Plus there are helpful row-by-row pictures showing exactly where each stitch goes

If you like the Margaret square you should also have a look at at a series of squares she designed in legacy of her grandchildren. I was able to test one of them in September 2020, the Carter Jude Square.
