PATTERN NOTES:
Pattern is worked with 2 strands of cotton held together, unless otherwise noted.
Ch 1 at beg of round does not count as a stitch
Ch 2 at beg of round does not count as a stitch
Rounds are joined with a sl st in the first st of the round (not the ch 1 or 2)
First stitch of the round is always worked in the same stitch as the join
Feel free to use any colors of yarn you’d like, just be sure it’s 100% cotton, especially if it’s going to be used as a pot holder/trivet

HOW TO READ THIS PATTERN:
When a number is before the command, such as 3 hdc, it means to work that many stitches in the same stitch.
If the number is after, such as hdc 3, it means to work that stitch in the next 3 stitches, i.e., 1 hdc in each of next 3 sts.
Commands in parentheses, like (hdc, dc), means to work those 2 stitches in the same st, i.e, 1 hdc, 1 dc in the next st

ABBREVIATIONS:
MR: Magic Ring
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
rnd: round
RS: right side
WS: wrong side
F/O: fasten off

GAUGE: gauge is not crucial for this pattern, however if you tend to stitch tightly, you may want to go up a hook size. If you stitch loosely, go down a hook size.
