On row 1 of the instructions, I believe there needs to be a ch 1 between each hdc. Or am I missing something? <br /><br />Just a suggestion, but I've changed the initial chain to 21, then after doing 7 hdc stitches, I join back in the first ch stitch. This makes a four chain loop on each end and it is much easier to do the needed 8 double crochets onto a simple chain than to cram them onto a thicker hdc. <br /><br />On round 2, it says to do 7 dc over post of final dc of Row 1. Per your pattern, there is no dc in row 1. It should be either changed to read the final hdc, or, if you change to the longer beginning chain, then it would need to say to do 7 dc over last four chain loop made. I'm not too sure I'm making sense since I've never written patterns before. Just trying to get across what I think I've figured out.

I would never use acrylic for something that needs to absorb heat, however. I've seen acrylic hotpads with scorch marks, and some of them were pretty dramatic!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-14113793635097922632012-10-31T22:32:51.346-06:002012-10-31T22:32:51.346-06:00Do you think I could use acrylic for these?

The trouble is, I have shown them to some family members and if I make one, I will have to make about 5 of each one. <br /><br />Not only do you crochet, but you are a fantastic photographer! I am not a photographer, but I have been married to one for 39 years, so I know good photography when I see it. And you cook and you bike and you quilt and you work!!!<br /><br />Do you sleep????<br /><br />Thank you for sharing and for all you do. God Bless you and the Lizard.

You are definitely a very talented person and your family will certainly enjoy them for Christmas even if they don't have the same love for snowflakes. If I weren't struggling with an Am. Girl doll sweater pattern, I'd be tempted to start on one of these now. Thanks, and have a great day!Grandma Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022501626607248999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-9230105544535358172011-07-11T06:21:12.267-06:002011-07-11T06:21:12.267-06:00That is a good use for your snowflakes :)That is a good use for your snowflakes :)cathttp://1bildibland.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
