  1. this looks like something I can manage, i like that you say two Caron Cakes. I bought a bunch of them when they first came out but only one of each. I'm no good with colors so I'm looking for suggestions on which colorways go together. Right now I have Macaroon and Buttercream. One is bright colors and the other is neutral off-white/cream/light grey.

    1. Hi, was this for the baby blanket I posted? lol Just wanted to be sure. And yes it was 2 cakes, and it also makes a perfect lapghan as well. Buttercream would work with almost any color because it is neutral and makes a great base from what I've seen in other people's work.

  4. I'm having a bit of trouble with the number of stitches I am supposed to have. In round 3, we are to Dc blo in next stitch, 2 dc blo in next stitch,* repeat from * around. (36 dc).

    Does that mean we crochet until we have made 12 new stitches? (24+12=36) or do we 2dc blo for every other stitch? it just feels like if i dc blo I'm gonna end up with more than 36 stitches. Thank you! Any help would be great!!

    1. Yes you are increasing and I swear if you continue with this round it will add up to 36 stitches total. :) If you want, you can do a sl st and then a ch 3 st the start of each round if that will make it easier for you. The ch 3 of course would count as a dc stitch.

  5. Round 17 has me a bit confused... is it a repeat of round 6 only with 60 total stitches? Dc dec block is what’s hanging me up. What’s dec?

  6. I had to use an 8mm to achieve gauge, but now the beanie seems like it'll be very holey and loose. Is that how it's supposed to be?
