Lute

Crochet Corner to Corner Graphghan based on the Kingkiller Chronicle Trilogy.  Week 2- Lute

If you are one of my many unlucky friends than you have probably heard me talk about the Kingkiller Chronicle at least 100 times.  I am obsessed with this series on a small unhealthy level.  I have wanted to crochet a graphghan for this series for well over a year and I finally have some time in order to try and complete that goal!  Feel free to join in and make your own graphghan or just watch how mine progresses over the next 9 weeks.  Each week a new square will be released along with it's pattern. Welcome to week 2, a Lute!

Week 1: Auri's Gear video on Youtube

 

This pattern may be messy and has only been tested by me, so if anything is confusing, feel free to ask or help correct my pattern! Thanks, Natasha (mnopxs2).
