Since these squares are essentially half-square-triangles, there are a variety of layout options you can choose from as well! I love the star layout, but I thought it would be fun to show you a few other ideas too!
Hello, I went to Piney Creek for local yarn shop day on Saturday and they had a sample of your Crochet Granny Star Tote Bag. I thought it was so cute and want to make it! I asked them if they had a kit or pattern I could buy. She didn’t have any more kits right now and said I would have to buy the pattern from your website. They gave me your website and I was able to search for the project, but when I click on the link to buy the pattern, it says it’s ‘not found’. I’m hoping you are still willing to sell the pattern. Please let me know.
Thank you! Melissa
