Notes
- You will be making the throw from bottom up.
- Every block of the chart represents 1 hdc.
- The ch 1 does not count as a st.
- The ch 2 counts as a st.
- There are 2 sections that use a rep chart. Before beginning the chart, ch 2, rep the chart 3 times, and hdc 1.
Create bobbins of colors before beginning for intarsia crochet techniques.
You need to be familiar with how to change colors using the “yarn under technique”. If unsure how to do so, see this blog post for further explanation.
