This will be the centerpiece for the purple afghan sampler I’m making for my mom.

I think if I made this again, I would leave off the optional crab stitch round but it still looks good with it.

The pattern is very clear and well written with lots of photos. I give it a medium difficulty for the sheer amount of bpsc in it. Some rounds I just did a blo sc instead to no detriment IMO.

Version made for my sister’s xmas afghan here.
