NOTES

• When working the spokes, be sure to keep your slip stitches and chains loose so that your rug doesn’t ruffle or pucker. If you have trouble keeping a loose tension, try going up a hook size.

• This rug must be blocked somewhat aggressively to prevent it from rolling.

• When working in V-stitches, work in chain-two space unless otherwise stated.
