Play the game. IF YOU DARE!
$8.50Au
Intermediate Level
You have most likely at some point played the board game ‘Snakes and Ladders.’ Now you have the change to join in the fun with Dragonflies n Ladders.
This uses mainly basic stitches, with a twist on the use of Jacobs Ladder.
This pattern is of an intermediate level and takes a certain amount of concentration, with ladder loops going in many directions. This pattern needs a confident crocheter.
The pattern is available in both Uk and US terminology and comes with photographs and a colour block graph. This is not a symbol graph and works a lot like a filet crochet graph. Please visit my webpage for a explanation of how my colour block graphs work. You will find this in the Tips section.
