I love to crochet so this is right up my alley. And my theme is peppermint swirls.so this is going to be just right for my holiday decor. I may enlarge it and make it into a center piece on the table. Or use thick yarn and use it to make a small throw carpet. It has many possibilities.thank you for sharing this great pattern.
