A gift to the Colourful CAL’s/KAL’s group. You all are the best bunch of people ever.

Enjoy that cup of tea or cold lemonade outside without having to worry about bugs/debris getting into it between sips.

Or, attach this to a small hoop and make a window-hanging, stiffen it with a glue/water solution to make an ornament, use it as a small doily, or make several to join-as-you-go and make a tablecloth or blanket. It’s really up to you how you want to use this design!

The samples in the pattern are 6” across and use #2 sock-weight yarn with a C/2.75 hook. But you are free, of course, to make it smaller/larger by changing yarn size/hook.

Use one color or several to customize the look. Sample in pattern uses 6 colors.

Optional 6-12 beads
