Notes
Crochet Tips:
1. Maintain consistent tension throughout for even texture.
2. The alternating Front Post (FPdc) and Back Post (BPdc) stitches create the raised ridges—make sure each post stitch wraps around the correct post from the previous row.
3. When working the border, keep tension even to prevent curling. Block your square if needed for crisp edges and perfect shape.
Finishing tips: Weave in ends neatly on the wrong side after changing colors. If joining multiple squares, lay them flat and use a slip-stitch or mattress stitch join to preserve the texture. Press or steam-block each square gently to square up corners and even out stitches.
