Stitch Notes:

• I can’t stress enough, if you are a beginner, keep track of your stitch count!

• If you are a beginner, use a stitch marker for the firsts and last stitch made so you don’t lose your count!

• Since this is a free pattern, I did not have testers, any questions please see end of pattern for options!

• I have a youtube video tutorial, linked next to the ch 30 direction
