pattern Notes
- This pattern is worked in the rounds.
- When a series of stitches is repeated the sequence is written within * – * and the total number of times that sequence is repeated is written behind.
- Each round has the amount of stitches written within ( – ).
- When working in the round I suggest using stitch markers to keep track of where each round begins. Place the stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
- Please note! The pictures illustrating the steps are available at the end of this post!
