I love your site and I do follow you. Your instructions are great and I love that we can donate to whatever we need to. I’m a group from our Church so we do donate our projects to those in need. I share what I have made that you give me instructions for. Keep the free instructions coming. Crocheting keeps my hands busy for my arthritis. Blessing’s Karen
After the first colour change, are we actually supposed to repeat rounds 14 & 15 (as 16 – 27) instead of repeating rounds 13 & 14? As written, we’d have 2 consecutive rounds of sc and no way for round 27 to be the final repeat of round 13. Is the typo in round 15 “ch 1, turn, ch 1, turn,” not actually a typo as I had assumed? 🤔
