Notes:
- This crochet pattern is worked in rows starting from the bottom working towards the top, turn your piece over at the end of each row.
- Ch1 at the start of each row does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern.
- Repeat what is in between the stars from * to * until the end of the round.
- If you have a ** in your row you need to follow the pattern from * to * across the entire row and then when you get near the end of the row you will finish your last repeat at ** because you can no longer complete the entire repeat then follow what it says to do to complete the row.
- Read each row carefully before starting the row.
Multiples:
- 3
Yarn & Hook:
