Pattern Notes

Chain at beginning of each round counts as a stitch. Join each round in the top ch of the first st.

To create the ombre effect, start with the darkest color for the base and continue to work in progressively lighter shades with each color change.

Magic Knot: To change colors, tie an overhand knot with the new yarn around the old yarn. Tie a second overhand knot with the old yarn around the new yarn. Pull the working ends of both yarns to tighten the knot. Cut excess tails and continue working.
