The Way it Goes Square has been a labor of love. It was specifically designed as a collaborative effort, with other designers, in the Creative Crossing Blanket. This blanket was given as a surprise gift to Lorene of Cre8tion Crochet as a thank you for her mentorship and guidance to myself and others.

Pattern Notes

  • Ch2 equals a stitch.
  • Join to the top of the chain.
  • Your square may curl a little, this is because of the stitches used. A light blocking may help.
  • You only need about 1/2 skein for one square.
