I must say, I'm really liking the design side of crochet. I especially love the challenge it poses for my easily distracted brain. My bestie recommended I design a square with a similar filet pattern to my Diamondhead Hat. This one's for you, Christine!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't print this pattern out because it's done on the purple background. I hate when bloggers do this. They say you can use it, but you can't print it.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you cannot print this! I have no problem printing it as my printer allows for true black and white printing which overrides the color background. I would be more than happy to send you a PDF of the pattern. You can email me at redcurlysuecrochet@yahoo.com or find me on Ravelry (redcurlysue), if you are on Rav. Again, I apologize for your inconvenience!
All my best, RedCurlySue
