In The Dawn

Hello everyone,

Are you getting ready for the long weekend?
If you are like me, with no plans of camping this weekend, I have a new motif pattern to keep you busy. I have been working and frogging this motif all the past week to an extent that I woke up one day and I was counting the stitches in my dreams 😂😂.

So the story behind the name is nothing special other than the fact that I finally managed to put the pattern into writing at 5.30 am 😆. I always have difficulty in coming up with names for my patterns but this one was a piece of cake.. Yay, one thing off my list 😄.

So for this pattern, I used Caron Simply Soft yarn and a 5.5 mm hook. The final motif is around 6″ diagonally.

In the video, I used 2 different shades of green so you can easily see where the corners are joined on camera but in my humble opinion I like the one color sample more (however, I’ll be excited to see the color combination you’ll be using to crochet yours)

I will leave you here with the written, have a lovely weekend!
