Five-star rating for the color and design. This Crochet Filet Bunny Afghan is so calm and serene. The bunny design and the stitches used gives it a vintage look. Thanks for the free pattern which is very easy to understand and for having it right here on the same page.

OR means "or"....depending on where you are in the pattern, you do this OR this.

Has anyone made this? The pattern can NOT be right. You cannot chain 149, then dc in the 4th chain, then in each chain and come out with 147 stitches. So, are you supposed to end up with 147, or what?
