pattern for square motif not included
I'm sorry I forgot to add the amount of yarn is based on 25g balls. Do the math. As most yarn comes in skeins that are quite larger then 25grams, you will not need 164 balls.
I have just finished making 3 motifs. I can see how this goes together. The pattern is complete and an easy one at that. I really like it as it will use up most of those little balls of yarn I can't seem to part with. :)
YFWD = Yarn Forward
I am 15 and have been knitting for about 5 years and there is something about this pattern that doesn't make sense. Also, what does 'yfwd' mean?
even if each ball of yarn was $1, that would be $164 just for the yarn. thats NUTS. Was it ment to be a scrap yarn project?
i am 11 yeasr old. I have been knitting for about two years now. I wnat patterns i can do!!! Make some
164 balls, well it is a big blanket. Sure you could buy one but what would be the fun in that?
i dont like this pattern,because there is WAY MANY TOO BALLS OF YARN!!!!! 164 balls of yarn dont equal a cheap blanket,and its ugly anyway!!!!!!this is one of the stupidest patterns i have ever seen,and if there was a no star rating i would have put that!
i agree this pattern seems to only be half complete!!
Lovely, its taken me a while but it looks great
This is exactly how the pattern reads.
in my opinion the pattern is incomplete as I see it on the screen and as I printed it off...should have two motif patterns..I see only one...idea/picture is intriguing...please advise if there is a correct pattern somewhere
