The Pretender

The Pretender Granny Square Pattern

I designed this pattern when composing a blog post explaining how you almost never have to do starting chains - you know the traditional chain 3 at the start of rounds?  Well it's not just regular stitches you can replace with false stitches.

Have a read of the post here if you want to learn a bit more about seamless crochet.

And then use The Pretender pattern to practice!  Winning all round.
