The Pattern: Donna’s square is a slightly modified version of the “Weeping Willow” square by Rachele Carmona. It is one of the squares in the Vibrant Vintage Blanket CAL 2018 (#VVCAL).
Although intended to represent its namesake tree, to me the long treble crochet stitches look like the rays of the sun. Because I tend to crochet a little too tightly, the stitches pulled a little for me in the center. I felt as if the slant accentuated the feeling of light radiating out from the center.
