🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

*How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.

Hey Robin, can't thank you enough. For years, I had lil round pieces crocheted and kept, not knowing how to join them. Your's is the first video that got me success. I have 100s of them and will certainly send you a pic once I complete my project. A million thanks dear.❤❤. I am indeed excited.

I have crocheted over my ends for as long as I remember. Even I have difficulty finding my ends again ( if needed). It’s as effective as sewing them in. Sometimes I pull the last inch or two in the opposite direction to keep it from unraveling. I also use Ch 2 at the beginning of each row, If I remember ( mainly on garments, I ‘Ll use a stacked sc. Thank you. This is an adorable motif! I may do a stash busting afghan using pastels.👩🏻‍🦳 🧶👍🏻

Because I'm currently obsessed with hexagons, I made one of this circle and loved the result! The only difference is that I ch2 in the corners instead of the ch3. Now planning a field of hexagonal flowers blanket with bright yellow in the center, then variegated flower colors (pink, purple, and peach), joined by a leaf-colored green final round. Thank you for the inspiration!

[jansisk]
