xoxo,
Those colors! Sneaking that pomogranate in there is genius! The Serrano color looks discontinued on their site but I’m snagging the black and pom to get mine started! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you like it!
I love the checker patterns….thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for the pattern! I ran out today and got some wool to make the pillow. One question though – I purchased a P hook which is 11.5 mm and started it but it feels too big and loose compared to what it should look like. I have a smaller grey hook that looks like yours in the picture which is a K I think. So should I use a smaller hook or is the P hook the correct one? Thanks again for the great pattern and video
Hi Nancy! My P hook is a 10 mm. I wonder why the difference, that is a pain, I am sorry! It is quite a bit larger than a K hook, but it depends on your gauge.
This is so cute!! Thanks for the pattern.
Thank you!
Beautiful! Just a quick question…did you just need one skein of each color? Thanks for a great pattern!
Oh! I am terribly sorry! You need two black, two pomegranate, and one Serrano.
No worries! After I asked the question, I saw the first post where you intoduced the week of plaid and listed out all the amounts. Thank you!
I’ll start off with AMAZING PATTERNS AND DESIGNS!! I’ve created a few things of yours and they always come out perfect. Thank you so much for everything you do! Love Whistle and Ivy!
Next, could you release the colors you used for this design? Obviously one is black Hahaha!
Thanks!!
Thank you so much! You are so sweet! and WOW, I really thought I did that, I am sorry! I used Serrano, Pomegranite and Black.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with for plaid week! I’m excited to make a few pillow’s for my living room!
I’ll have to get some photos of the things I made posted and tag you! I made a few pairs of baby shoes for my niece and also made chevron tablet covers for everyone in my house!
