Pattern Notes:

• It is beneficial to read through the entire pattern before beginning.
• The pattern is written in standard US terminology and is written for right-handed crocheters.
• Pull joining slst tight to prevent them from looking like stitches.
• The first ch 1 or ch 2 at the start of a row/round does not count as a stitch.
• When chaining, work in the back bump to prevent the starting chain from being too tight.
• For CC, pull the last loop of the old colour with the new colour and capture the non-working yarn. A short video on CC can be found in the abbreviations section.
• A number before a stitch indicates how many of that stitch to make in the previous row/round, e.g. 2sc means a single crochet increase.
• There are notes in italics throughout the pattern to help with stitch placement, as some do not have common notations.
