Notes

• US Terms
• Ch 1 at the beginning of single crochet rows does not count as a stitch
• Ch 3 at the beginning of double crochet rows counts as one dc plus chain space
• Cut the yarn at each color change, leaving a long tail about 12” (30.5cm) long to use for seaming
• Both right and left-handed crocheters can read in the same direction
• Bobble stitches are done when you’re working on the wrong side of the project. So after you complete the stitch, the bobble should be popping out of the right side of the fabric.

• When you get to Color B, change to using the Color B tail and continue sewing. Do the same when you get to Color C. Weave in ends and turn right-side out.
