  1. This pattern is really fun. Gonna make one in reversed colors, but there may have been a mistake at round 8. Are you sure it’s supposed to be B/W, and not W/B like in the previous row?

  2. I’m not sure if I had fun making this or if it’s Stockholm syndrome, but mine looks super cool and I’ll never make a second one lol

  3. I love this pattern. Made one and & had to make 4 more immediately because my friends and family want them. LOL. I will say that if you are making them in bulk like I am, it increases your speed a little.

  4. First one I needed the video on love the finished product. Don’t do much on social so can’t share a pict with you though
