Wattle Stitch Panel
This panel uses the wattle stitch. We used this one in block #9 of our 2019 CAL. The wattle stitch is a modified version of a v-stitch. You do a single crochet, chain 1 and a double crochet all in the same chain 1 space from the previous row. I love the texture of this easy crochet stitch. It also grows really fast too!

Divider Panel #3 Instructions
Ch 15 to start

Border
Ch 1, sc evenly around placing 3 sc in each corner stitch. Join to top of 1st sc with sl st. Finish off and weave in ends.
You may block your panel if needed, I did not.
Joining
We are whip stitching again with your MC.
A helper I discovered this time was: after you fold the divider panel on top of the square panel, place some safety pins along the edge to hold the two pieces together and keep them even.
Pin this!
