CORRECTIONS
Round 16 - at the end of the round should be “slst to the top of btsc”.
Round 18 - beginning of 4th line. After pop, instead of “(1dc, 1exdc) into top of middle…” should be “1dc, 1exdc into top of middle…” as those st do not go into the same st.
Through all the pattern: corrected st name: btsc replaced with shallow back post single crochet, btdc replaced with shallow back post double crochet.
