Finished size: 72” x 72”

113 rounds.

13 days to crochet.

I started out generally following the color scheme of Lynn Adkins (lcadkins) with a few minor changes along the way, but starting around Part 8, I went off on my own.

4/19/15
Once Part 15 came out, I had to re-do rows 96 & 97 so that I’d have the same color “ridge” on row 98 as I had on row 90. Row 96 I re-did as double crochet instead of single crochet so the butterfly band would look more balanced once I re-did row 97 in Graphite for the ridge in half double crochet.
