  1. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern! And it’s named for my favorite time of the year…bonus!!

  2. I have a copy of your Festival of Fall Square, I am having an issue with Round 5.
    It is fine for the first 2 rows. From the start of row 5 until you get down to the 3rd line , there are 12 stitches crom the beginning of round 5 to the beginning of line 3 , THEN it says to put 5 dc in the ch-1 space, however there are 4 stitches between the last of the 12 and the ch-1 space.
    Have tried to figure out but am stumped.
    Can you help

  3. Great way to use all those left over scraps of yarn.
