NOTES

• Piece is worked in spiral rounds using double-ended circular Tunisian-crochet technique. A Tunisian-crochet round consists of two passes: the right-side (RS)-facing forward pass to pick up loops, and the wrong-side (WS)-facing pass to work loops off from the opposite end. The main color (MC) is always used for both the forward pass and the return pass unless otherwise stated.
• The stripes are done using the contrasting color (CC) on the return pass. After the contrasting color return pass is complete, cut contrasting color only, leaving a 4” tail
