I am a visual learner, when I get stuck on a pattern I find it helpful to have a photo to reference for any tricky parts. I have assisted Claudia by putting together this photo tutorial for her Spring Pathways Square to anybody who also finds photos helpful. As always, you are encouraged to head over to our Facebook group if you have any questions, myself and the other designers will do our best to help. Don’t forget to share a photo of your square, we love to see all the colour combinations!
Crochet Pattern Written by Claudia from Crochet-a-La-dia, you can find Claudia on Instagram and Ravelry.
Special Stitches
CLUSTER – *Yo, insert hook in ch-2 space indicated, pull up a loop, Yo, draw through 2 loops on hook: repeat from * once more, Yo, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
PUFF STITCH – Yo, insert hook in indicated stitch, pull up a loop, repeat 4 times in the same st, yo, pull through all 9 loops on hook, ch 1 to close.
Notes:
• Ch at the start of each round does not count as a stitch, unless specified.
