Hope I can do it I at beginning stages
Please try again with a change of the yarn colour; and maybe even a different size crochet hook. This sometimes helps me whne a new pattern seems impossible!
I’m having a lot of difficulty with this pattern. I’ve done many easy patterns, but this was is challenging. I’ve tried 5 times, but it’s very confusing.
