So I pulled out the finished section; then instead of crocheting both layers at once I alternated- top, bottom, top, bottom. The bonus is that the edge alternates the two fabrics.

I'm trying to salvage by making slits and such longer but I'm not sure it's going to work yet or not :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02361309473402041117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360984114944252469.post-50430420620402891472014-11-02T19:35:55.198-05:002014-11-02T19:35:55.198-05:00Hi Alyssa,

Also as long as your slits in the middle of each strip aren't super teeny, that should also help. I wish I could take pictures, but unfortunately I don't have any of the supplies for this project at school with me. Let me know if you need further clarification on anything and I can do my best to try and explain it with words. I hope it works out for you!<br /><br />There's also another blog post I have found since posting mine that does a similar technique for her fleece blankets, maybe checking hers out would help clarify more: http://www.piecesbypolly.com/2010/12/braided-fleece-blankets-tutorial.html<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />AlyssaAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598911141746606207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360984114944252469.post-85162251923744543812014-10-12T23:13:58.278-04:002014-10-12T23:13:58.278-04:00I followed all of your instructions and I have my ...I followed all of your instructions and I have my 2" corners out and 2 inches long about 1" apart and have started the "crocheting". Could you explain a bit more about cutting the strips longer to avoid bunching up at the corners? Do you mean the corner ones (like one before and one after the corner)? Also, how do I do that with my 2" square corner already cut out? Could you post some pictures?
