Notes

Couldn’t resist making this for myself!!

2/28 Merino in my favorite color! Used Purple rainbow ab seed beads size 8/0. Used 1927 beads!!

Pattern well laid out, not complicated just took me a bit of concentration. Took awhile as had so many beads to add!!
Did 10 repeats, ended up with 905st, so casting off took awhile!!

Really please with end result

Size after blocking is: 42” x 66”
