Ribbed Square by Andrea Harris
Photo Tutorial
Hello!
Once again I am posting a photo
tutorial of the 6 in. square choice for the 2012 BAMCAL Group in Ravelry. This is a different looking square because it
is RIBBED. So cool. I would like to thank the designer, AndreaHarris, who is Jitterie in Ravelry, for this great design, for posting it for
free, and for giving me permission to make this tutorial.
As always, I will keep the designer's
original instructions in black. Anything
I add for clarification will be written in blue.
Thank you again, Jitterie.
I want to say that this is an amazing looking square, but I did quite a bit of rewriting of the directions so that they made sense to me. I am not sure that I did the corners correctly, but the square mostly looks right. If there are any errors, it is my fault, and I will correct them as quickly as I can.
