My square came out at exactly 12" 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 and 2: Lettuce; Rnd 3: Holly Berry; Rnd 4: Tigerlily; Rnd 5: Iced Aqua; Rnd 6: Hot Pink; Rnd 7: Lettuce; Rnd 8: Holly Berry; Rnd 9: Tigerlily; Rnd 10 and 11: Hot Pink; Rnd 12: Iced Aqua ; Rnd 13: Fruit Punch.
This square benefited from a light blocking. To block this square, I used the wet blocking method and a Chetnanigans BlocksAll Ultra blocking board.
