Daisy’s Nine Square Crochet Along 2019
Square 6 – Waves
We will be working the whole square in one piece from bottom to top or side to side depending on
which way around you decide your final square to be placed. As always, it’s up to you when you
change your yarn, and which order your colours go or if you follow the placement recommendation.
