Quick Notes & Tips
- If you prefer to avoid using the FDC stitch, you can instead chain 40, then dc in the 4th ch and each remaining ch across (skipped 3 chs count as first dc of row). Then continue the pattern as written with Row 2.
- If you prefer to avoid using the CSDC stitch, you can instead chain 3 or use your favorite dc substitute.
- Carry the yarn colors along the side when not in use, and then cover these floats with the Border.
- Cycle through the colors A, B, and C, or create your own stripe pattern.
- To customize the size of this piece, work any even number of stitches for Row 1 and then work to the desired length.
