Hi – I have fixed the typo in Round 7 – it should be 3 CH in each corner.
The following round have 2 CH in each corner!
Thank you.
Corner 1 has CH 3 turning the corner, but the subsequent corners have CH2 turning the corner. Shouldn’t they all be the same?
Thank you 🙂 Fixed the error!
You still have an error in RND 6. The first SC in the 7DC should be also 9DC. I love your patterns, I will send you a pic of the finish product with different colors.
