Repeat and Bracket Guide
Square brackets [ ] are used for small repeats: 4dc, [2dc, 3tr, 2dc] 2 times
Asterisks *are used for repeats that include small repeats: *5dc, [1ch, 1dc] 3 times in next ch, rep from * 3 times
Round brackets ( ) are used when a string of stitches are worked into the same spot: (3tr, 3ch, 3tr) in next st
Stitch Counts are given at the end of rows where necessary, in the following format: [12 dc, 3 sp]
Tips and Notes
- Weave your ends after each time you cut the yarn to avoid having to do them all at the end.
- Please read the stitch guide for any abbreviations.
- To get a neater result, I do not “chain up” for the first sc of the round/row. Jump straight into the first sc.
