I wasn’t sure how this ‘flash the bird’ design was going to go down as Matt told me he thought it was juvenile and that I should do a peace sign! He’s usually the first one to give an opinion on my designs so I do normally take what he says on board as a bit of constructive criticism, especially as he is generally really positive.

I ignored him on this occasion though because I love to flip the bird sometimes (only at the right time of course!) and after posting a photo on Instagram it would seem that lots of you do too. I had quite a few requests for the pattern so here is a link to the downloadable PDF with the graph chart for it.
As always, don’t forget to tag me on either @discoslothdesigns or #discoslothdesigns on Instagram so I can check out your creations!
I used corner to corner crochet but you could also use a different style, if you are using C2C then using a ruler to mark off the lines as you go means you are less likely to make mistakes.
I haven’t done any corner to corner tutorials yet but there are some great ones on YouTube, I learnt using this one by Bella Coco.
