Notes

• Ch 4 counts as a dc plus a ch
• Ch 3 counts as a dc
• When working dc’s across, 2 dcs are worked in the ch-2 spaces of the previous round
• Finished size is approximately 69-inches by 69-inches
• US terms are used
• Sample is made using four colors – it is the crocheter’s choice to use multiple colors, a single color, etc.
• A larger hook can be used, but the amounts of yarn will need to be adjusted/increased to accommodate the larger hook.

Filet diamonds and boxes pattern

Someone posted the picture below on a Facebook group for this diamonds and boxes filet crochet pattern.  If anyone knows the origin of the pattern, it would be great to connect to the original.  In the meantime, I'm deciphering the pattern from the photo and will share the notes and pattern once I'm finished and if the original can't be located for credit, etc.

Coordinating colors for Red Heart variegated yarns

When working with variegated/multi-color yarns, you may want to blend in complementing/coordinating solid colors. Sometimes it's not that easy trying to find such coordinating colors like for my current project that I am working on with the Red Heart Shaded Dusk colorway. I did a search this morning for an aid that would help with finding some coordinating colors and found this helpful chart that helps with solid color coordination with the Red Heart variegated yarns.
