  6. Great square Debi. I don't know how you do it, you have such wonderful ideas and you turn things out so quickly. This would be darling made up for a girls room in either a blanket or pillow.

  16. Thank you all so much ladies. :)

    Gracias Isa - hice los ganchos - buscar en la barra lateral para la imagen del gancho de crochet. Las instrucciones están en inglés, pero tal vez podría traducir al español. Otras damas venden ganchos de crochet de arcilla de polímero de Etsy. :)

    Thanks Madeleine for letting me know - I have corrected the pattern. I make my own crochet hooks - click on the crochet hook over on the right sidebar and it will take you to the post where I explain how to make them. :)

  24. You don't state how many skeins needed for the afghan? Guess I'll just guess and stick with Redheart yarn.

  25. Thanks Kim and Pammy Sue. :)

    Kimberly N. - I didn't make an afghan - just this one square.

    1. Hi Sandy. I'm sorry you're having problems printing out the pattern - I don't understand what could be happening. I just tried it and it worked for me. The only thing I can suggest is to copy the pattern and paste it to a word document and then print it from there.

  29. I'm so glad I found your blog! I absolutely love this block and may try an afghan!! Purple & pink are my granddaughters' favorite colors.. actually, one likes pink and the other one likes purple.. this should work just great.. THANKS!!!

  30. Love this wiggle stitch! Beyond me how you thought of it! I'm have trouble with the second round of 'wiggles' though. Should I skip every other double chrochet? I have too many if I do every one.

  32. So simple and yet, so nice. I'm going to try it right away. Thank you very much.

  33. Thank you for sharing this pattern. My widowed BIL has dementia (still early stages) I'm using this pattern in a blanket for him. As people with dementia progress they get anxious and having various textures to feel helps them settle. So this will be perfect.

  34. I just made this and instead of doing a small square, I did a huge blanket square and it turned out AWESOME!!! Thanks for the pattern, I love it!
