Some people like to use the crocheted cube to make baby blocks, here’s the link http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-a-cube/
Rachel,
Thank’s For The Link.I’ll check Them Out.
Precioso! Thanks
I think you mean 7″ = 18 cm? (17,5cm)
By the way: terrific pattern with those double crochets! In my country they are called ‘stokjes’ (twines), but double crochet sounds better 😉
And very cute flowers!
Hey Marrianne!
Thanks for pointing that out! Silly me and my typos 🙂
Thanks for this pattern! I used this pattern as a basis for a purse I made for my little niece. You can see how it turned out on my blog! I absolutely love that this pattern requires NO seaming! I try to avoid sewing in my projects whenever I can! 🙂
Does the ch-2 count as a DC?
thanks!!!
Nope. They only count as a dc if it’s noted in the pattern. Let me know if you have other questions!
I saw your adorable hobo bag and continued looking! I think I’ll be making this one and the hobo for myself! Both are the perfect size with the best adorable looks!!! Thank you for sharing!
