Notes

I have tons of sock yarn scraps, so I’ll bite. This fits in with my recent interest in crochet. I have no idea how large this may end up.

Anticipating it may take years. But that’s ok.

Doing four rounds rather than three as specified in the pattern. Each square is very close to 3 inches. 3 grams of yarn per square.

If I should want to change it back up - 3 rounds is a 2 inch square and takes 2 grams of yan.

ok, I’ve fallen for this. Just a few squares every day or two. Yarn arrived for the natural squares. While I have lots for the colored squares, I definitely didn’t have enough for the naturals.

potato chips! I can’t resist.

2023.03.29

95 squares completed.

One ball of Stroll Bare completed 37 white squares.

Anticipating approximately 300 squares will make a 36x48” afghan.

2 skeins of Bare Stroll make 75 squares

I think I’d like to use this border once it’s ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csdXCfwzkHA

finished blanket weighs 1123 grams. so subtracting the Bare yarn, I used about 573 grams of sock yarn left overs. The sock yarn bin is about empty!

17 squares by 21 squares - finished size about 46 inches x 56 inches. (eek, 357 squares)
