I designed this pattern when composing a blog post explaining how you almost never have to do starting chains - you know the traditional chain 3 at the start of rounds? Well it's not just regular stitches you can replace with false stitches. Have a read of the post here if you want to learn a bit more about seamless crochet.
And then use The Pretender pattern to practice! Winning all round.
You can use any yarn of any weight and fibre, and the appropriate hook size. Matching gauge is not important.
I used 8 ply cotton yarn and a 5 mm hook. My versions of The Pretender are 9” across.

This is a beautiful pattern. Very sophisticated. It is an easy pattern to follow with clear instructions.
I have made it in Pink 4ply cotton as a gift for an 87 year old lady who loves pink.
Love it and will make more of these.
Great pattern
yet again another stunning pattern, easy to understand and a beautiful design
Now honestly, I have not started this square at this time but I'm in love with it as all of your designs and have real PLANS... I'm on a non-craft project right now but this is at the top of my list when I'm done with my project. Much Love!
As with all of Shelley's patterns, its easy to follow and turns out great every time
