Hi! I’m really enjoying this CAL. I struggled with the corners in part 2 because I’m left handed and so crochet clockwise or to the right. I made some modifications but realized the wrong side looks better than right side for those sections. Now more corners! Can you give any suggestions for us left handers when the patterns has us attach from the right most stitch on a side? This doesn’t work for us as our next stitch would be the corner. I suspect part 4 may work out ok if we just started in the left most chain 2 instead of right most. This section is not as complicated, at first glance, as the shell crochet corners.
Hi! I think it should work if you join to the left instead 🙂
Are we supposed to have 57or 59 stitches per side at the end of week 3? Video for week 4 says 59, printed pattern says 57?
Hi! You should have 59 per side. The printed pattern says to dc in next 57 (not that there are 57 total)
Thank you! Loving this pattern!!
Gosh I’m really struggling with these corners. I’m missing something as I’m off count every time 🤦🏻♀️ I think I need to rewatch the video again. Ugh !! Glad I got 2 weeks to figure it out
I am left handed also just attach to opposite. end.
These CAL anticipations are well worth the wait with such beautiful and easy to use patterns, Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work for us.
Thank you so much!
Do you pull the thread from the top or bottom of the cake.
Hi! I like to pull from the middle 🙂
I’m enjoying my Friday night homework immensely !! Thank you so much Breann !
Are you posting Part 6 on February 11 or February 18th? Just wondering if we get new part now or if we have to wait another week. Love the pattern and having so much fun. Thsnk you so much for sharing your creation!
I was looking forward to Part 6 today. Haven’t seen it yet…

Hi Breann,
I’m using the same the same colorway as you used in the video and was wondering how many rows did you do in the pink color before switching to green?
