Notes
If you prefer to avoid the FSC stitch, you can begin the pattern as follows: Ch 74, sl st to first ch to create a ring, ch 1, sc in each ch around; join with sl st. Then continue with Rnd 2 as written.
Feel free to mix up the color stripe order as you go, creating your own personal work of art!
Unused yarns were carried along the inside, so that at the end, there were only 6 ends to weave in.
Quick Tips
- Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of rounds if needed.
- Leave the 6" tail after the Foundation Single Crochet (FSC) to help close the bottom of the round when weaving in.
- You can carry the unused colors along the inside to minimize ends, as noted above.
