Pattern rating: Complex

Assumed Knowledge:

You will need to be familiar with working with two yarns at once, I do explain my method for switching between the yarns but it will help to be comfortable working with two yarns before starting this project

You will need to be familiar with the following stitches:

Stitch abbreviations: (US Terms)
MC: Main colour
CC: Contrast colour

Note about Waistcoat stitch, and working double crochet into the V of a single crochet:

The Waistcoat stitch/working into the V, is integral to the design it can not be substituted with a standard single crochet or by working the CC dcs into the top of the sc
