- Yarn: Legacy Fiber Artz Minis (mostly from Advent calendars 2023 & 2024)
- Hook: I (5.5 mm)
- Ravelry Project Page
- Inspired by Rachel (treehousefiberarts on Instagram) and Sue & Chelsea (Legacy Fiber Artz on Instagram). Check out the Floss Toss Ravelry Group for details on their Scrappy Blanket CAL; you do not have to use this pattern. Any scrappy crochet blanket counts.
- My color placement is inspired by this project/pattern available on Ravelry. The basic idea is that you use 1 main color for Rounds 1 & 3 (center and outer square), and then 4 separate colors for the 4 sides of the middle square)
- Round 1 & Round 3 done using same colors (2 sock yarns held together)- totals about 22g (11g of each colorway)
- Contrast Colors: total weight of yarns used (reminder- yarns are held double so I only need half the weight listed for each mini). CC 1 & 2: 2g needed. CC 3 & 4: 4g needed
- Progress: 9 so far - 2 new ones this month
Hot pink spinning
- Fiber: Mountain Vewe Coopworths Fiber in hot pink (no specific colorway name)- three 4oz bumps
