Good to know
- Initial stitches are made as standing stitches or replaced with chain stitches;
- ch1 = 1 sc, ch2 = 1 hdc, ch3 = 1 dc
- End each round with a sl st in the first stitch unless otherwise stated.
- Continue with given color until a new one is specified.
- Total number of stitches within () at the end of each round.
- If the stitches mentioned are not on the round, they should be skipped.
- Please read through the «Stitches & Terms» section before beginning, in this
- section the main stitches and terms are listed.
- Since your tension is individual and different for everyone, the number of chains in
- spaces between elements and the number of stitches in Popcorns, Clusters and
- Puffs can be adjusted.
- Do not forget to block your doily when you are finished.
- I tried to do my best to ensure this pattern maximal clear. If you notice any
- discrepancies or typos, please let me know.
