Customer Reviews
I had to look up other patterns to see what she means on some places.
The patterns said in round 2 said to jump from the main row to the space from the previously row. But then forgets to add the ch 1 in there.
After I paid for the pattern. Then I found the free version. The free version is written so much better.
Like it was written by two different people.
This pattern is no different from any other pattern design by Christa in that it is a well written pattern. No need to guess at what she is directing you to do. Also there is a companion video tutorial that helps tremendously when it comes to joining the two squares and adding the edging. I cannot recommend her patterns highly enough.
