Additional Notes:
-You’ll begin with the wattle stitch at the middle of the square, then transition into the puff stitches before finally moving into the lace and flowers at the ends. The second end will be worked similarly, starting just before the puff stitches and continuing out to the ends. The trim rounds are then added, followed by surface slip stitching near the rows of puff stitches.
-ch 1 at beginning of row is not counted as a stitch unless otherwise indicated.
-To cut down on the amount of ends you have to work in, carry your working yarn across the row and work the other color over the top of the carried yarn. You will want to do this on the rows with puff stitches, and on the rows with the shells and puffs.
-This pattern includes 2 bonus squares that will harmonize with the original if you want to crochet a blanket from this theme.
