Haha, totally get it.  This group of 3 squares is Month 3.  Wanted to wait for this month to begin before releasing the squares.  This week is Square #7!

It looks so great Darlene!!  The colors are so summery.  Great Job!!

Hi Joanne!  Ya, looking at the written instructions I don't see where that matches up on the diagram anywhere.  So, if I were you I would ignore the written instructions if you feel comfortable with that and just focus on the diagram.  It looks like the black squares are the ch 1, sk 1 spaces.  Then, after the ch 1, sk 1, you count the next tr st you make as the first of the next group.  It doesn't look to me like the is a filet style pattern where we are filling in boxes.  We are just working stitches and the ch 1, sk 1 holes form the pattern.  I hope this helps. It's a pretty pattern! 💖

This might have been a dud riddle that I found.  Sorry about the frustration.  I'll double check on the next riddle I plan on using to make sure it is a good one.

Hi Alexandria!  Great question!  Actually, that chart can be found within the pattern itself!  You get FREE access to the pattern just by being a member!  Go to Video Library, find the video tutorial, click on the video tutorial and the PDF is attached just below the video for you to print off or just look at.  I hope this helps!  Let us know if you are having any trouble.  🤗💖🧶

Hi Karan!  WOW!  What a great experience that must have been to connect with that crochet group in San Miguel de Allende!  I completely understand your struggle with that foundation row and first row.  They sure can be pesky and finicky.  I have lot of different suggestions for you to try as to help you with this question.

 1. If your foundation row seems to often come out smaller than the rest of your project, try working with a crochet hook one to two sizes larger just in your foundation chain then switch back to the hook you want to work with for row 1.  This will help give each stitch more room in that chain space.  And vise-versa if your foundation is to large.

    Have you played with a foundationless stitch before?  This has helped many people who struggle with that foundation chain.  By working your first row AND your foundation at the same time it provides adequate room for your stitches and everything seems to even out better.

I could even provide tutorials here in the Club! 🤗
