I want to avoid the Kentucky #=winter as long as possible so we are spending a few more days on the west coast before heading #home. In the meantime, I’ve decided to focus all my current #knit and #crochet #designpatterns to #spring #patterns only! It’s going to make for a happy #throw or possibly a #tablerunner. #whatchathink?

Materials:

*G hook

*Worsted weight Yarn in 2 colors (I used Paton’s Cotton Blend)

Notes:

This pattern creates 6 petals. Each petal is created over 2 sts in the established 12 ch loop.
