Several years ago Smiling Sally hosted Blue Monday.
Sadly Sally went to be with the Lord.
Sally left a beautiful gift on her blog

Almost 1 year ago I moved into my very own Tiny House after my husband past.
I am enjoying creating my own space.
I am now ready to buy a sofa and comfy chair. I think it will be a challenge finding what I what on my budget.
Take a look . .
PART 7 – CRUNCH STITCH (make 2)
Ch 31 (any odd number)
Row 1: sl st in 3rd ch from the hook, *hdc in next, sl st in next* repeat from * to * across (30)

The edges might curl. This can be fixed with some steam blocking. It won’t be noticeable after sewing.
· Each square has at least 2 rounds of border. For the last round of the border I used the same color for each square (the dark gray). This is the same color used for the sewing.
· Each square does not need the same number of stitches for the border.
· Make 2 of each square. Alternatively, you can use cotton yarn and make 1 square to use as a dishcloth.
PART 3 – BASKET WEAVE STITCH (make 2)
Ch 28 (ch any even number)
Row 1: dc in 3rd ch from the hook and across (26)
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in first stitch, *fpdc in next stitch, bpdc in next* repeat from * to * across to last stitch, sc in last stitch (26)
Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc in first stitch, *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next* repeat from * to * across to last stitch, sc in last stitch (26)
Row 4 – 19: repeat rows 2 & 3 (or until the height matches the width)
BORDER
With the same color used for the square, work around the entire square
Round 1: ch 1, sc along the side of the square, working 1 sc in the end of each row across to the corner, ch 2, working along the bottom, sc in each stitch across to the corner, ch 2, working along the side, sc in the end of each row across to the corner, ch 2, working along the top, sc in each stitch across to corner, ch 2, join to first sc with sl st.
Block 4
· Each square has at least 2 rounds of border. For the last round of the border I used the same color for each square (the dark gray). This is the same color used for the sewing.
· Each square does not need the same number of stitches for the border.
