PATTERN NOTES
Hold 2 strands of yarn together
throughout unless otherwise
stated.
When using 2 balls of yarn, pull
tails from the inside to prevent
tangling. When using 1 ball, pull
1 end from inside and 1 end from
outside or purchase an extra ball
to make pulling 2 strands easier.
Motifs are worked with right side
facing at all times. Do not turn
at end of rounds. Position chain
loops on right side throughout.
Except beginning tail, work over
tails as work progresses, leaving
a short tail. Weave in short tail
through worked-over section to
secure through washings.
Join with slip stitch as indicated
unless otherwise stated.
Chain-5 at beginning of round
counts as first half double
crochet and chain-3 unless
otherwise stated.INTERMEDIATE Chain-2 at beginning of round
counts as first half double
crochet unless otherwise stated.
Chain-3 at beginning of round
counts as first double crochet
