Notes
1. To help make this pattern more accessible to different levels I have written out the directions for each row. However, if you are familiar with increasing, decreasing and working evenly in the stitches used there are more simplistic instructions (in italic parenthesis) at the beginning of most rows. 2. Because this pattern is mostly about filling in' the spaces between insertions there are an abundance of ends to weave in. I have found that crocheting over the ends whenever possible (using moss stitch) alleviates some of the burden in the end.
