about this pattern:

i foundthis pretty pictureon pinterest and was totally smitten. after a lot of googling and

searching i wasnt able to find the pattern, so decided to figure the pattern out myself.dottie

angels pictures of her thrifty find was very helpful, and i was happy to find out that this is

actually a pretty simple pattern, so novices dont be alarmed! just go ahead and try it out for

more pictures, check outthis,thisorthis post.

about yarn/hook:

any yarn with corresponding hook will do, i find that moving up a hook size from what the yarn

says makes a softer material that would work better with a blanket. ive made pillows with these

squares so that wouldnt matter so much. i usedsandnes duo (dk weight) and hook 4 mm and the

square measures 88 cm, with garnstudio drops paris (aran) and hook 5 mm one square is a bit

over 1010.

first a couple of basics:
