About

For Tana in pinks mauves blues and greens - Ised leftover Stylecraft Special DK and bought Paintbox Yarns DK Candyfloss Ballet Pink and 3 x Dusty Rose background..Instead of alternate coloured squares, I made various coloured squares with dusty pink borders and used the sew as I go method!
I worked on this over autumn for when she goes into a big bed.
I varied the border by leaving out the treble into the 3 treble group of the row below so the border wouldn’t curl.

  Oh my goodness. I really love this. Only a self taught newbie but I’d be thrilled to try this.

  Tried the join as you go method - it only joined the squares with a slip stitch after each group of three trebles. I wasn't keen on the gaps this left, so I'll do sew as I go instead!
