You da best!!!!
It was kind of confusing, though crochet is not really my thing. Trying it out for the first time. It half worked, it looks like a blob, but that’s because I think I did it wrong.
Hi there! I am sorry it is blobbing! Sometimes crocheting in the round can be tough to keep track of your rows. If you want to email me a picture and more detailed issues I am happy to help! ellie@hookyarncarabiner.com 🙂
