Good to know
- Initial stitches are made as standing stitches or replaced with chain stitches;
ch1 = 1 sc, ch2 = 1 hdc, ch3 = 1 dc - End each round with a sl st in the first stitch unless otherwise stated.
- Continue with given color until a new one is specified.
- Total number of stitches within () at the end of each round.
- If the stitches mentioned are not on the round, they should be skipped.
- After the last round, the work may bubble a little, this corrects itself after blocking.
