Pattern Notes

While gauge is important, this project will still be successful if exact gauge is not achieved.

A turning ch 1 is not used when the next row begins with a sc.

An alternate dc chain (ALT DC) is used at the beg of a dc row. It replaces the typical turning ch 3 and counts as the first st.

Brooks Farm Yarns offers a wide variety of hand dyed yarns in variegated, tonal, and semi-solid colorways through their website and at fiber festivals.
