Pattern Notes:
• This pattern is worked in the round and is joined by
either a slip stitch (sl st) or invisible join (IJ) for each
round. Pay attention to what is specified for that
round.
• The ch 1 at the beginning of each round does not
count as a stitch.
• Steps between asterisks * * indicate steps that will
be repeated a certain number of times.
• Stitches held within parentheses ( ) indicate stitches
that are all crocheted into the same stitch.
• The final stitch count for each round is at the end of
the row in bold. A breakdown of how many of each
stitch you should have for each round follows the total
stitch count. Some rounds are also broken down into
stitches per side and stitches per corner.
• Make sure to keep your tension loose for the SC
rounds, especially the BPSC round.
