\*Important Notes\* -
\*All Sc should go through entire St (both loops front to back). \*\*This pattern is worked in the round (Unless directions say “Row"). Do not build up between each round, simply continue to the next stitch. \*\*\*Place stitch marker in first stitch of round so you know when to switch to next round pattern. Once you reach the end of the round take out the marker and move it to the first stitch of the next round.

2 inch by 2 inch square. Ch 12 11 rows of 11 Sc. \*Change hook until correct gauge is reached.
