Is it really already May 2021?! We welcome Square 5 to our rapidly growing Traveling Knit Afghan work in progress - Square 5 is designed by Uma Padmanabhan.
The free version of Yuj (Square 5) pattern will live here as Uma does not have a website. However, the downloadable ad-free version of the pattern can be found here.
Yarn: Feels Like Butta Lion Brand Yarn, 218 yards/199m; 100g; 100% polyester. MC: Dusty Blue #108 - 1 skein; CC Lemon, #158 –

Needles: US 7/4.5mm or whatever needed to obtain gauge of 19 sts & 20 rows = 4”/10cm in Moss stitch.
