Written In:

This pattern is written using American standard crochet terminology.

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.
