Pattern Notes
There are several ways to crochet into chain spaces. For this pattern, I used the first method
For this motif, unless you want a very open project with limited structure, I would not recommend join-as-you-go. As you fasten off CD at the end of Rnd 5, consider whether a longer yarn tail would be helpful for your join.
