Just regular corner-to-corner crochet for this project.

I worked stripes of 4 rows of silver then 3 rows of cream.

I began decreasing on the middle row of a cream stripe.

I used 332g / 1400 m of this super soft acrylic yarn (chosen for easy care for the new mum and I’ve used it loads of time before and it wears well).

The border is pretty minimal as I was playing yarn chicken with the 200g silver yarn I had of the dye lot. It’s just a round of cream sc into the edges of stitches - 3 for each tile. (I usually work a setup round of sc or ss between tiles with ch3 along edges of tiles but here didn’t want the gap.) I then worked a round of sc blo in the silver yarn (with sc, ch, sc in the corners).

Very happy with how this turned out.
