- Each round end with a sl st in the first st, unless otherwise stated.
- Initial stitches on a round with a new color are made as standing stitches,
it is fine to replace them with chains according to; 1 sc = ch1, 1 hdc = ch2, 1 dc = ch3 - Total number of stitches within (-) at the end of the round.
- Continue with given color until new is specified.
- Beginning with dc2tog = ch2+1 dc.
