Good to know
- At the end of each round there is a total number of stitches within (-).
- The first stitch on the row is made as a standing stitch or replaced with ch according to; ch1 = sc, ch2 = hdc, ch3 = dc, ch4 = tr.
- Finish each round with a sl st in first st unless otherwise stated.
- Continue with the same color until a new color is specified.
- If the stitches are not mentioned in the round, they should be skipped.
- It can be bubbly in the beginning, but it will sort itself out.
