Notes: Convergence is worked flat from the bottom up. The front and back are worked separately then joined at the shoulders and the underarms, with the sides left open. When working the Crosses Pattern, each row is worked with RS facing, working from right to left and fastening off at the end of each row (if you are a
left-handed crocheter, you should work from left to right). The yarn to be used for each row is indicated in the row label, e.g. “Row 1 (RS, A)” is worked with yarn A.
To reduce pattern length, when a number of single sts are worked one after another (ie without increasing), this is given in the style “Xdc”. For example, “10dc” = work 1dc in each of next 10 sts, “2dc in next st, 2dc” = 2dc in next st, 1dc in each of next 2 sts, and so on.
Unless otherwise indicated, “sp” refers to the entirety of a ch sp, rather than counting each ch of that sp individually as a st.
US crochet terminology used throughout.
