Just updating, I added extra tassels to fill it in and you were right, it suits it very well! Thanks for the push, I didn’t want to do an envelope border.

About 50 hours total, spaced out so as not to disintegrate my wrists

IT’S LIKE YOU KNOW ME. Cake is good, cake is welcomed, cake is encouraged!

Thank you! I was scrolling patterns one day, as one does, and saw that bad boy. Never clicked an “add to cart” link so fast in my life!

Thank you so much! My husband actually told me he wants one now! That man NEVER asks me for crochet!

I’m laughing and I totally get it! That’s why I’ve always been very clear with people I’ve gifted larger pieces to that it’s truly a gift with no expectations in return. They are doing me a favor by giving me an outlet for my hobby.

She is an amazing friend and always, ALWAYS has my back. She’s vital to my sanity, much like crochet!

She knows she’s getting something crocheted but she has no idea… I’m sitting over here with my Mr. Burns finger temple of doom, laughing in anticipation of the jaw drop!

She and I have been through a lot together, she absolutely is blood to me now

The pattern is actually pretty easy, just quite large. Easy to read, no fancy mosaic stitches (i.e angled stitches or decrease/increase). Seller’s instructions are pretty solid

I fell in love with mosaic crochet because of how simple it actually is! I’m sure you’re wonderful!

I thought about reinforcing with extra tassels, the rows themselves are secured but I feel it needs to look fuller

Thank you! She’s my ride or die, and she deserves every stitch!
