Instructions
Notes:
- Take care to skip top of sts “behind” each post stitch, unless otherwise instructed.
- When instructed to work around a stitch “2 rnds below,” work into the indicated stitch in the round numbered two less than the round being worked. For example, if you are working 17th rnd, st “2 rnds below” is 15th rnd.
- When instructed to work into or around the “same” st, this means you should work into or around the st that was last worked into or around
