    Very nice things you crochet, Debi! Enlarged this could also become a type of rectangular doily or tablerunner.
    Thinks you often... even when not always looking at your blog, Debi!

    Thanks Debi! I actually had printed out another one similar to this and it's in my stack at home. A large one of these will make a nice hot pad.

      Hi Stace. I'm sorry you're having trouble with the font. It's one of the plainest fonts they have, so I'm not sure what I can do about that. :)

    Could you comment on the possibility of just keeping adding rounds to make a rectangular baby afghan or even a full sized. Would need to know the increases for each round. Thank you.

      Hello there. All you need to do is continue to crochet a solid dc round and then a dc, ch 1 round. I'm not sure exactly about the increase amounts. I'll crochet a larger rectangle and see how they work out. I'll let you know. :)

      This little blanket measures 24" x 35". Just add more rectangles to make bigger.

    Hello I have a pattern that I want to do. But it says on round 8 to honeydew in the first stitch. I am trying to figure out if it is a typo or if it is a technique that I don't know about. Any help would be great?

    Thank you in advance

      Hi Jessica. Sounds to me like a typo - I've never heard of a 'honeydew' stitch. What pattern are you working on?

    This pattern is soooo nice. If I keep on going with the last row of dcs, can I do this ?

      Hi Janine. Just keep alternating the rounds of {dc, ch 1} and the solid dc's, and it will be as large as you would like it to be. :)
