I am thinking this is a project I am going to do for my Grandma box. I am thinking of starting what I am calling my Grandma box. I am going to do several items for my Grandchildren so when they start having children, they will have something handmade by me. I notice there are allot of questions regarding the pattern, I hope I can figure it out. If I do I will post here and let you know.

Row 3 is confusing at the repeat part...it does not match up if you follow it exactly....is the repeat part...(hdc in next 2 st skip one st hdc in next) so you end up with groups of three...if so it does not match up....if you go for groups of two and try do figure it out differently it does not match up either. Is there a better way to say this so we can understand it. It also helps if you have the number of hdc you will have before you start your corner.
