Finished size: 16″ x 20″ (plus fringe)
Supplies
- Caron Simply Soft Yarn in the following shades:
- Soft Pink (195 yards + fringe)
- White (77 yards)
- Soft Green (47 yards)
- 18″ or 24″ dowel rod (I cut a 48″ rod in half)
- 4.5 mm (G+) Crochet Hook
- 2.5″ Pom Pom Maker (or piece of cardboard)
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
Notes
- If you’d like to use a different yarn, check out www.yarnsub.com for really great tips on substituting.
- Pattern is a rectangle C2C project.
- You will increase once per row until Row 23.
- Rows 24-30 you’ll maintain 23 squares by increasing on first stitch and decreasing on the last.
- Rows 31-52 you’ll be decreasing on both ends making the rectangle close.

- For changing colors, before finishing the last stitch of old color, put a loop of new color on hook and pull through. https://youtu.be/SbG78BvZw8E
- For the dowel rod, I bought a 36” one at Home Depot then cut it in half.
