Notes:
This pattern is written using US crochet terms. Finished size is 10” tall. Pattern notation examples:
Sc # = Sc # of times

sc = sc # of times in the same stitch (this is an increase stitch). Likewise,

dec = dec # of times ( 2 dec = dec 2 times so, 4 stitches would be decreased 2 times to end with 2 stitches)

#b = row #, back part
#fl = row #, front left part
#fr = row #, front right part
