Pattern Notes

• While this pattern is written for a specific size with a specific gauge, I encourage you to make it your own! Increase for half the yarn you want to use, then use the second half to decrease. Choose a hook that will result in a loose gauge with your chosen yarn. Have FUN!

• Sample pictured measures 30” square, and was increased to 91 sts before decreasing.
