NOTES

• If working both garlands and bough, projects use almost all of B. Consider purchasing an extra ball of yarn as insurance.

• When working garland foundation chains, place stitch markers at regular intervals to keep track of stitch count.

• Work Row 2 of double-sided garland and bough strands into wrong side so fronds slant in same direction.
