Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Skipping the color plan, which breaks the pattern.

Joining with tight seams, which makes the cover stiff.

Unequal square sizes, which makes rows wavy. Check the size of every square.

Running out of one color. Buy extra of the main colors.

Important Notes

Check every square measures 6 inches.

Use cotton or soft acrylic for a drapey cover.

Keep yarn from the same dye lot.

I hope this cover makes your bedroom feel like home. Happy hooking!
