This is a modification of the green lacy granny I made last year. I am still using a lace yarn, still crocheted tightly using the smallest size of crochet hook. The change I made was on the number of starting chains and stitches in the first round and changing the 2nd round into dc instead of cluster.
Yarn: Lace/Sport/Size 5 crochet thread will do. While typing this I was thinking to make another one as soon as I have a chance in bulky size yarns or T-Yarn for a cushion cover!
Hook: B/2.25mm
Term: US
