Notes:
1.) Do not join rounds with a slip stitch; instead mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker so you know where to begin the next round.
2.) Make sure to leave an ample tail on the beginning and end of each portion to use in sewing and weaving in ends. 3.) For instructions on how to work with the magic ring try this tutorial: http://www.crochetme.com/Dec_Jan_0405/reads_round.html 4.) When changing between yarn colors remember that you must begin the change in the stitch prior.
