Good to know
- End each round with a slst in first st if nothing else is told. (Or in your preferred way).
- The rounds begin with a standing stitch, you can replace them with chains like this: ch1 = 1 sc, ch2 = 1 hdc, ch3 = 1 dc
- Total number of stitches at the end of each round between ().
- Your work might be wobbly after some rounds, this will sort itself out when you block your work.
- Continue with given color until a new is given.
