ReplyDeleteI really love this pattern. I'm working on it right now! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I might make something like this for summer use. I was just wondering if it might be possible to do some blo sc and continue working in the round to do the body instead of crocheting a separate piece...what do you think? Would that work?
ReplyDeleteI think that would work.
