Tips

• Read through the pattern at least once before you start.
  
• Feel free to use any colour (but leave colour 726 from kit 1 and 717 from kit 2; these are the colours that you have 4 balls of).
  
• The aim of this CAL is to let out your creative side, so choose any colours you like! You can even combine multiple colours in one square.
  
• Use the invisible join method to finish your square, as described in the Tips & Tricks PDF. This ensures that all sides of your square are exactly the same, which will make crocheting them together at the end a lot easier.
  
• Sew in the ends right after you finish your square.
  
• To get the best result, block your squares. You can find more info on how to do this in the Tips & Tricks PDF.
  
• If you want to print the pattern, please only print page 4. This is a special page, designed to use the least amount of ink and of course paper.
  
• Have fun! :)
  

Finished blocked square measures around 7 inches/18 cms.
