    So cute!!! I'd love to get some of that yarn! I love that pink to gray gradient! 😍 I'll have to look into that. I love cotton and I love polyester, and the combination of both. And it's recycled which I've been trying to do more of lately. Thanks Anja for another fantastic project to add to my ever growing list! ❤️

    I know right? My daughter is over in England right now! I'm going to ask her to hunt this brand down and pick some up for me. I don't know how much of anything you can but over there before customs makes you pay some kind of export fee on it, I'll have to ask other to ask around about that. I think there is a base limit for goods brought out. But I am definitely going to ask her to grab me some for me yarn stash.

    Good day Ophelia, I'm still struggling to grasp the corners. After the first two rows / circles (if I may put it that way), do I follow the the same instructions at every turn for the complete work - e.g. s stitch in the third loop; chain one and then half double crochet in the following until you get to the other end?

    Great tutorial! I think I am missing something though.. So after the base is complete and we have to crochet all the way through, do I still make the slip stitch on two corners or only in one? Because I've been doing it on both ends and I think something is wrong :)

    Hello :) Thank you for your help, I'm a beginner but your explanations are very clear so I can follow easily :) I have a question tho... do I have to do this trick ( 11:41 ) every time I go around a corner as it goes up? I don't know if I'm making myself clear. Or should I continue with basic double crochet, ignoring the corners?

    i think that could work but i suggest using a either half double stitch or double crochet stitch instead and then working from there. You can even use treble stitch if its thick enough. I used half double for my chromebook and it worked great.

    Sam, sadly the only way to really 'fix' it is to frog it back to where you have the right amount of stitches, and make sure you keep a count, every row. The pattern/tutorial is correct as many people have made it successfully, please try again. Thanks, Anja x

    A 4mm hook is a G Susan. I nearly always use Stylecraft Special DK (SSDK) these days, it has a wonderful range of 100 colours, it's great quality, and wears extremely well, I cannot fault it, BUT, in this video I'm using a ReTwisst Chainy Cotton Cake I had in my stash. Yes, the 6 SC go in the same chain, you are correct. I hope this helps Susan, enjoy, Anja x
