Janet’s Garden CAL March

Now that you’ve made the center square of your blanket, it’s time to turn it on its side! That’s right, we’re making the sides into the corners and the corners into the sides. It’s way easier then it sounds, and super fun! Once you learn how to do this, you will be shifting squares left and right!
