Notes:
- This crochet pattern is worked in the round.
- 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 * all the way around and then when you get near the end of the round 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 round.
- Read each row carefully before starting the round.
