I love this stitch I just found your site and learned it this past week. Great pattern. I am making washcloths and hand towels for myself. And washcloths with homemade soap for family for next Christmas , I always pick a project and make for my family for Christmas. Thank you for sharing. ?
Ohhhh pretty !!!! I have to try this ! 🙂
It is very beautiful I used bright mix varrigated, the only thing is it uses a lot of yarn. But it’s worth it, keeping it for myself. Will try and send picture when it’s finished I don’t work on it all the time doing other projects. Not very savvy with sending pictures
Thanks again
I bet the afghan is very beautiful Diane 🙂 and relaxing to make! You are most welcome for the stitch tutorials 🙂 Rhondda
I love this pattern very easy to do, I am making an afghan with varrigated yarn it is beautiful.
Thank you
Diane
Hi Katherine 🙂 The full instructions to start are in the post – along with the stitch pattern multiple so you can adjust the size – the square uses this:
R1: ch 30, beginning in the 3rd ch (Note: the skipped 2 ch sts count as 1 sc) from your hook work: (1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc), skip the next 2 chs; *(1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the next ch, skip 2 chs* and repeat from * to * across ending with 1 sc in the last ch, turn
Hope this helps,
Rhondda
