Notes

• Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
• Where asterisks appear, repeat the instructions between them.
• Where parenthesis appears within the instructions, work all of those stitches in one stitch/space.
• For the edging: use a loose tension to avoid pulling and puckering. If you have difficulty loosening your tension, use a I/9/5.50mm crochet hook for these rows.
