NOTES

• Ch1 does not count as a stitch. Ch2 does not count as a stitch. Ch4 is considered as a dc + ch1.
• Instructions in [] are to be repeated the amount of times indicated after brackets. eg: [3dc in next st, sk1 st, 1dc in next 3sts, sk1 st] 23x – is to be repeated 23 times.
• Sk1 st = Skip one stitch
• Always make last dc in ch3 of turning chain of previous row; it will be written as “1dc in last st”.
• For this pattern, I alternated colors every 2 rows. You may alternate colors however you desire; just change your colors at the end of whichever row you want to add a new color. I will refer to color changes as “CA” for Color A and “CB” for Color B.
• You will use an H/5mm hook for the border.
