Hello crochet friends! It's been quite a while since I have posted a new pattern here on the blog, during the pandemic I was so busy being a teacher to my youngest son it didn't leave much free time. I did find a little bit of time here and there to still crochet (of course) so I have lots to get caught up on here! I also have recently been getting a few crochet tutorials up on my YouTube channel, some that I've shared here and some that I haven't so if you'd like to, you can check out my channel here: By Jenni Designs on YouTube!
Anyways, I will go ahead and get on with the pattern! Thanks so much for stopping by!
