Notes
• If piece is too large, use smaller hook and/or crochet Rnd 2 with hdc instead of dc.
• The beg ch-2 is not counted as a stitch. It is to act as a "filler" so there is not a gap, as there would
be if just beginning the round with a ch-3 dc. Likewise, the joining sl st is not to be COUNTED as a
st, but will be worked into at the end of the round; this also acts to complete filling in any gap, to
make a solid piece.
• Work over yarn tails whenever possible to avoid having to weave in so many ends.
