NOTES
The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 3.5″ x 4.5″ (9cm x 11cm) when using the materials listed.
The ch 2 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a stitch. Pull the chains tight for a neater bottom edge.
The border round is worked with the wrong side facing you.
Colour changes take place in the last stitch of the round as described below:
HOW TO CHANGE COLOURS IN HDC AT THE END OF A ROW
Yarn over and insert your hook into the last stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook. Drop your working yarn and pick up the new colour. Draw the new colour through all 3 loops on your hook to finish the stitch.
Tip: Crochet over your ends where possible.
