NOTES
-
Leave a 6” tail at beginning and end of each row. These tails will become the fringe.
-
Start each row with a slipknot on your hook to create a solid first stitch.
-
Work each row with one color and right side (RS) facing.
-
Colors alternate each row.
-
Read the chart from the bottom up and from right to left for each row.
-
Squares in columns before and after the chart indicate which color is worked for that row.
-
When reading the stitches of a row, always work your current color as single crochet unless there is an X in your current color stitch rectangle—These stitches should be worked as a double crochet in the indicated stitch 2 rows below, ignoring any other color “overlapping” your stitch/row. Always work the double crochets in front of chain-2 space in row below.
