Crochet-Along Clue 1: Spoilers and Photos

[Shandeh]

Can someone tell me if this is supposed to be a SQUARE??? Mine isn't a square!

It will look more square when the sides are seamed to the other motifs surrounding it in the blanket. It will look more circular for now.

This is just sad...that I didn't know there were REAL Sloths! I thought Pixel made it up for Ice Age...who knew?

Mine are coming out bigger then the square that printed out on the sheet, but when I measure them they are accurate according to the measurements on the first page... 4 and 1/2 inches by 4 and 1/2 inches.

I just realized that there was a blocking sheet,that you all are probably using to measure it by.

I tried an H hook and an I hook and both came out roughly 4 by 4. I might try with a J hook but I'll likely decide to just go with the H hook and if the blanket turns out a bit smaller, so be it. This is the first pieced together blanket I've ever attempted....
I'm glad no one else's looks like a square either because mine sure doesn't!

Hmm...maybe your printer is not set up to print a full size document.

Finished my first square, and I took a photo of it on the template. It is a bit wonky.
Does it look right?

Looks like mine, so I'd say you're good to go!

I've completed three so far. I think we're on the right track!

Ok, I've been trying to pull it to square!!! I'll leave them alone, have done 2 so far, if I can keep my grandson away from the yarn! he loves to help grammy pull the yarn out..."it's so soft gaga!" (4yo)

I have no way of printing out the template. so I placed the square on my laptop,because the photo says actual size. My square is clearly smaller

PDF files are not actual size on your computer screen, they become that when printed (Most of the time)
You would be better to grab a ruler and measure a square out and draw that.
My template measures 4 1/4" (four and a quarter inches)
Hope this helps. Your motif could very well be the correct size and the PDF is off while on-screen
