Omatra Square
A while back, I had an issue that caused all the posts on my blog to be lost. It has taken a while but I am slowly getting all of the free patterns back.
The Omatra Square was created for The Friendship Blanket CAL, hosted by Sunflower Cottage Crochet. The CAL is over but all of the squares are still on her blog post here.
