Designer Notes
- This pattern is written in English using U.S. crochet terms.
- ch 1 does not count as a stitch
- Finished measurements 39 inches end to end.
- This pattern requires no sewing of parts together. Only the ends will need to be woven in when done.
- I chose I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby for this pattern. My goal is to use yarn that is easily accessible by everyone. You may substitute any other cotton yarn of similar weight of your choosing.
- Gauge is not important for this pattern as long as you stick with the recommend yarn (or a similar type yarn) and hook size.
