Shade Seeking
Phew, it is scorching here! And while I do enjoy the warm weather, I think this week has been a good week to slow down and enjoy the simple things (in the shade:). And so this week’s round is very simple.
Another thing to do to relax in the heat is make cute sampler squares. So why not join in the poncho CAL by Itchin for some stichin and check out this lovely Cable and Crossed Square by Cosy Rosy UK?
This week, we are adding a simple round of half trebles in spearmint.

Pattern notes

The blanket is worked in the round. You do not need to turn your work after each row and you continue working in the same direction as before.
[Stitches written in brackets like this are all worked into the same stitch.]
For the first stitch on each row: Chain 1 to move up to the next round if the round starts with double crochet. Chain 2 if the round starts with a half treble crochet, and chain 3 if the round starts with a treble crochet. These chains count as the first stitch in the row
