This pattern includes a video tutorial, and is very quick to work up - the fastest of this CAL, I think!

This one was running just a tiny hair small, so I decided to add a final round of solid sc. 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: Holly Berry; Rnd 2: Tigerlily; Rnd 3: Holly Berry; Rnd 4: Tigerlily; Rnd 5: Lettuce; Row 6: Lettuce; Row 7-11: Iced Aqua; Row 12 and 13: Hot Pink; Rnd 14 and Extra Rnd: Fruit Punch.

This square benefited from a mild blocking. To block this square, I used the wet blocking method and a Chetnanigans BlocksAll Ultra blocking board and Perfecting Strips.
