Notes

I really wanted to make a C2C and I really wanted to use self-striping yarn, but with crochet it can sometimes pool or look patchy. So this is the perfect solution - make squares so that the stripe effect of the yarn isn’t lost, and then join them. Loving it so far…

Will border each square in cream, which I hope will make the colours pop.

12th December 2015: This has sat in my back bedroom for months, waiting to be joined and bordered. So as part of my get-things-finished-before-the-end-of-the-year mission, I dug it out, joined it with sc through back look with wrong sides together, and bordered it with a sc edging - the self-striping yarn works perfectly for such a simple border. Another one to tick off the list!
