Thank you very much! Very interesting design, I'll try and let's see the results...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and thank you for sharing. This is one I'll be doing.
ReplyDeleteI like this one too. Don't know how you keep coming up with new ones. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteHi April....love this square, thanks for offering it for free. Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would make for a lovely afghan...I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteI chose to do this square in lemon yellow and mossy green. I love the pattern! Thanks so much for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteHi! Love the square. I did find I needed to use a "J" hook to make it be a 12" x 12" square. Is it possibly a typo to use a "H"? We used this pattern for a CAL and no one reached 12" square without either using a larger hook or adding rows. Thanks for sharing the pattern. It's very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Dena
Dena, Thank you for using my square! I'm sorry the recommended hook size didn't work for your group. I double checked and it's not a typo, I did use an H hook. But I've been told I crochet a little on the loose side so that may be the issue.
ReplyDeleteYou must really crochet loosely. I just completed a square using the I hook and had to add another round to get a 12" X 12" finished product. The pattern is lovely though so it is all worth it in the end !
