Pattern Notes: Do not do your first Hdc or 2 in the same st as the sl st, make the Hdc or 2, in the next st. Work your last Hdc or 2 in the sl st instead. This makes for a nice, harder to see, seam. Ch1 doesn't count as a hdc. Each Hdc Rnd will be worked in MC. Each Sc Rnd will be worked in CC. You will be carrying each color used. Do not cut yarn until told to do otherwise. If you crochet tight I suggest you go up a hook size (l/9 Hook). Changes in instructions for larger size are in parenthesis.
