Tips

• It is super easy, there are only a few ends to weave in for this project.
• Use two or more contrasting colors to get the best effect.
• You can choose any color scheme to make it your own.
• After the first 2 rows, each color is used for 3 row repeating.
• I carry my yarn up the sides instead of finishing off and work over it when doing the edging.
