I tried this pattern once so if this is the same one as the original pattgern writer I'm not going to wastemy time because it just didn't work.
It'stoo bad too because it's a beautiful blanket
What was wrong with this blanket?
I like this pattern and was looking at all the directions. I think this blanket is crocheted on an angle and not a horizontal, row after row, to form the 54 inches. Am I correct? It looks very hard. I will not be attempting this project.
I think, yes, maybe it'll look better if to crochet at angle.
THIS BLANKET---I BELIEVE ------ IS DONE IN --CORNER TO CORNER STITCHES--
Where does the 5mm hook come in?? And where did the 6.5mm get added?
It's written in the pattern where to change crochet hooks
How can I print this?
You can save it as .doc file and then print it out
