It sounds like a really big granny square. I don't crochet granny
squares, so I know my directions wouldn't come out looking right. Any
granny square makers here who could give her the basics?

Thank you again!

Maeven this is the pattern similar but this one u dont have to sew the
4 pieces together, or u can do the corner until u get it big enough for
1/4th of the bed u need to cover, end off and make 3 more the same
size....just keeps adding on rows dont start to decrease them as in
pattern here. a;tho i do think that this pattern is much easier bc u
wont need to sew it togther. let me know how it goes GOOD LUCK!!

Dawn, I've just sent them to you, and Thanks Again.

Hi All,

My daughter got a beautiful afghan for Christmas from her teacher's
sister who has adopted her as her 'niece'. She visits the daycare from
time to time and adores my little girl.

Well my son saw the afghan and wants one for himself. So silly me I
said
I would make him one. The pattern looks very simple but I'm pretty new
at this so I kinda need a pattern. It looks like four triangles with
the points that come together at the center and it's a shellish pattern
of three double crochets then a couple sc to form the chain that the
shells on the next row would anchor on.

I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but I really need a pattern. It
seems like it would be one that is on the yarn skein label, but I've
been to the websites and don't see one that matches. The yarn she used
looks like regular yarn but not as cheap as red heart super saver.

I know this is not a whole lot to go on, but you guys are awesome and I
know you'll know what I'm talking about! 8-)

Thanks so much,
Wendy

Yep, that pattern should do the trick to get her started, and then she can
just continue in whatever color she likes until it is big enough.
