Pattern Notes
Pattern is written using US terms.
Do not turn work. Keep right side facing you at all times.
Rainbow: The increases are designed to be offset from each other. This will produce a more
rounded circle. When the increases are lined up, the circle tends to take on an octagon shape.
Sun: Stitches noted in [ ] are the suns flares. Sun is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join after
each round. Mark the beginning of each round. When working in the chain, work your stitches in the
back bump.
Cloud: Cloud is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join after each round. Mark the beginning of
each round. TIP: If you are having a hard time getting your stitches tight when working the
decreasing rounds, switch to a smaller hook.
