LOVED this pattern.

Came out great! Excellent pattern and instructions. I found the graph particularly helpful for spacing the spike stitches.

I crochet tightly and the 4.5mm hook worked great, and it gave me an excellent feeling strudy potholder.

I love the pattern instructions on the circle for the back. I used the dk blue color. I can barely see my step up for each dc round. I will use her technique from now on! Such a tiny change for an excellent return.
