Additional Notes:
-Blocking is very important for these. They will not lay flat if you do not block!
-I ended up crocheting with a little more tension than I usually do to keep my stitches even.
-The hemp cord is not uniform in thickness so I tightened up for the thicker parts of the cord, and loosened tension for the thinner parts.
-If you find the cord is hurting your hands you may be using too much tension.
