Notes & Special Instructions

➤ Chains at beginning of a round/row NEVER count as a stitch. ➤ This pattern can be made in all 1 color or 2 (or more) colors

➤ First DC Options: In this pattern, the 1st DC st in rows/rounds will always be noted as a regular DC. There will be NO Chain instructions on rows/rounds beginning with a DC. Use your preferred method for 1st DC stitch of these rows/rounds.

1 - Chainless Starting DC: This is the technique I prefer to use. Moogly Tutorial for Chainless Beginning DC stitch

2 - Stacked SC: Stacking 2 SC will result in a similar look to a DC st without added bulk of a Ch2. Brianna K Tutorial for Stacked SC

3 - Ch3: Use this as 1st DC of row/round.

4 - Ch2: This will get your sts to height of a DC & then place a regular DC in 1st st of row/round.
