I saw a pattern where the square started out as 4 circles of dbl crocheting I can’t find it . Would you happen to have it?
No, I don’t
What color Caron cakes did u use? I love the colors.
Thank u
I’m using Buttercream 🙂
I am really enjoying this CAL…
I appreciate all the work you put into this.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I crochet tighter than you do and my project is looking really small … would you suggest going 1 or 2 hooks bigger
Yes, that would probably help 🙂
Is there a typo in the Round 3 corner stitch? With a 2sc, ch, sc corner, it’s making the corners curl after the next few rounds. Or my stitch count is off?
No, this is not a typo 🙂
How did you go up by 8 stitches from round 1 to round 2? I am stuck. I have counted and recounted.
Hi! There are 2 sc in each corner ch-1 space and that gives an 8 stitch increase total
