PATTERN NOTES
The Corner-to-Corner (C2C) technique of crochet is made by starting in one corner of a pixel graph (the lower right corner) and following the graph row by row diagonally to the other corner (the top left corner).

HOW TO CHANGE COLORS
To join a new color: Pull the new color yarn through as you make your slip stitch to join, or as the final step of a double crochet. For areas of a solid color, do not fasten off the old color. Leave the strand hanging and still attached to the ball, as long as there will not be long floats on the back side of the work. By not cutting the yarn each time you change colors, you’ll have fewer loose ends to weave in later. Just keep the balls not being used on the wrong side of your work. Carry the yarn strand up from the previous row and pull it up to your hook when you need to join that color back into your project.

When you begin to have a lot of color changes, it helps to divide the yarn balls by winding into multiple smaller balls.

How to Read the Graph: Print out the graph. Start in the lower right corner and mark off each square as you go. Each square in the C2C graph = ch 6, + 3 dc. The first square in the corner is Row 1. You will work diagonally back and forth (down one row and back up the next). Row 2 of the graph will be read diagonally from left to right and Row 3 from right to left.
