INSTRUCTIONS:

Notes: On color changing – I used 10 g mini balls of yarn – so I continued on with a new color wherever the old one ended. So my color changes are irregular. This is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.
You can change color at the start of each round/or at the start of a new stitch variation.
This is completely up to you!

For this third section I used approx 40 g of yarn – 4 x 10 g;
I did NOT fasten off after the last round because I continued with my yarn for the first round of section 3!

You will CH 2 at the START of each round – this DOES NOT COUNT as a stitch – you will mark the Stitch AFTER the 2 CH.
