Granny Square a Week-Week Thirty

We're in the thirties! This week's pattern:

Jelly Mould Pattern by Frankie Brown

This pattern is written with British terms, which are different than US ones:

British DC = US SC
British TR = US DC
British HTR = US HDC

You have to pay close attention to your stitches because it is very easy to get confused. I had forgotten here and there in the pattern and I was like "why is this doing this??" and it was me forgetting to convert terms.

The pattern is supposed to pop up, but for some reason, no matter how I tried, I could never get it to really pop up at all. But it is a pretty pattern in it's own right and the pattern is written well-I have had issue as of late with poorly written patterns there is nothing more frustrating than trying to get a pattern to work that is written poorly. I tried 3 patterns before this one for this week and let me tell you, I was ready to call it quits!

The only adjustment is Round 2 in the edging- after you complete the corner, the  pattern should be (In US terms): 2 hdc, 2 sc 3 times and 2 hdc before you come to another corner. On the pattern above she has the 2 sc being done twice and that leaves you short of the corner.


This was done with some bulky generic yarn I found in the dollar bins at AC Moore.
It is coral and a greenish teal.
Until Next Week!
