Notes

05-22-2022

miscalculated my stash totals for brown and purple yarns, so will have to redesign a little bit

07-10-2022

If I were to make this pattern again, I’d go up at least two hook sizes for just the set up row

Final Thoughts

Wanted to use this as an opportunity to use up some stash yarn….. and I did get rid of a few colors, but I ended up having to special order MORE DISCONTINUED BRIGHT ORANGE YARN just to get a better color match and get this finished.
