Hello!
How did you get on with week 1? Hope you enjoyed it, please do tag me in photos if you haven't already as I would LOVE to see your progress. (Sooz in The Shed - on both Facebook and Instagram).
If you haven't started already and would like to, you can find the first blog post about it HERE.
Anyway, here we are at Week 2 and it looks like this..
You will need 8 of these squares - which should keep you going nicely until next weeks update :)
Here is the video link for you.
Hook needed...
4.50mm (my favourite is Clover Amour)
This is a simplified pattern to stand side-by-side with my videos – only stating the stitches used along ONE side (including corners). The stitch shown in RED is the centre stitch of each side. This needs to be reversed then repeated for the other sides. I work in UK Crochet Terminology. If you would like a stitch convertor chart then you can find one HERE.
Always work in the BACK LOOP for DC and FRONT LOOP (row below) for TR. (see video for more details).
