PATTERN NOTES
Work over loose ends where feasible as work progresses or weave in later. In either case, leave enough tail to double back with needle into worked-over part to help keep ends
secure during washing.
Blocks are joined into identical front and back panels of 6 blocks each, crocheted together on 3 sides (or they can be sewn together if preferred). Trim is worked around the open top and (optional) lining is sewn in. Crocheted handles are added last.
Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
Do not remove markers until instructed.
Chain-3 at beginning of row counts as first double crochet and chain-1 unless otherwise stated.
Chain-5 at beginning of row counts as first half double crochet and chain-2 unless otherwise stated.
Chain-1 at beginning of round counts as first single crochet unless otherwise stated.
