Beautiful Work!
Joanita, all the squares from your CAL are so pretty! I love how this one combines the filet design with the granny stitch.
The latest Granny-Spiration Challenge is up – If you have time I’d love if you could stop by to share this pattern: https://crochetistheway.blogspot.com/2017/03/a-no-twist-granny-square.html
Thank you! Fixed the typos 🙂
In round 5 in the first part after “work 5 DC into next DC; work 1 DC into next 3 DC” should be into next 5 DC
In round 6 in same place should be next 7 DC
Thanks for all your work on this CAL. These squares are beautiful.
Merci pour le joli partage!
