This pattern is so fun to watch come together - and it goes faster than you'd think! I love the way different color choices shine with this pattern. There is a fantastic photo tutorial for the special stitches too!

I got right to 12" with this pattern as written. But everyone's gauge and tension level are different so be sure to measure as you go, and check your gauge. Learn how to adjust for size HERE to make sure all your squares are the same size. Remember that the 12″ is measured across and up and down – not diagonally corner to corner.
I used a Furls US-J, 6.0 mm hook and Red Heart With Love, and my color scheme was as follows – Rnd 1: Iced Aqua; Rnd 2-5: Lettuce; Rnd 6-9: Tigerlily; Rnd 10-13: Holly Berry; Rnd 14: Hot Pink; Rnd 15-17: Fruit Punch.
This square benefited from a strong blocking. To block this square, I used the wet blocking method and a Chetnanigans BlocksAll Ultra blocking board.
