Hi Krista,
I love the modern look of this pattern, but am having difficulty achieving this beautiful piece and have a couple of questions.
– Does each row end in a hdc?
– Is there a right side and wrong side to the pattern? If each row starts with a sc and ends in a hdc, it seems both sides look the same.
I tried to attach a photo, but was unsuccessful.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Sue
Hi Sue,
I am so glad you like this pattern! Each row ends with a HDC. The right side is the side you started your initial chain on.

Hi, just wondered if I could use actual jute twine to make these? Many thanks x
Hi Leona,
You could but I am not sure how they would wash up. 🙂 But I say go for it. 🙂
