Thanks for heads up on size. I probably should make the first one as stated in the pattern though, huh? :-) If it turns out I'll post a picture. I don't know though.... next to yours I'm sure it won't look quite as nice. Thanks again!

I'm not a very accomplished crochet person, but I think this one I can do, we'll see! I'm digging through my stash this morning to find some yarn so I can sit down tonight and give it a try! Wish me luck! I think they might make great Christmas gifts!

This was VERY EASY! I'm going to do the same, Christmas gifts. I'm going to make them smaller though, this one is too wide.
