Notes: Coolidge is created seamlessly, starting with a magic loop. This project is worked in a spiral. This means that when you begin the next round, it is not necessary to make turning chains, or to turn the work. Instead, work directly into the first stitch of the previous round. With this technique, it is very important to mark the first stitch of the round with a locking stitch marker, as you cannot see where the rounds begin and end.
