I love this pattern. The center is so pretty and the repeat sections were really fun. I chose to make these section in the same color scheme to keep it consist. I used seven colors, however it would look amazing in fewer colors as well. This will be one of my “go to” patterns for gift giving for sure.
I found round 5 a bit confusing… I was thinking skip the upcoming stitch… no… skip the center stitch the fptr3tog was worked around.
I love the dc-fptrtog stitch, though I admit I have to look up how to work it every time. wink Be careful in the rounds. It’s very easy to miscount.
The star shape in the center is so pretty.
