Pattern Notes:
Circular needles are used to accommodate the large number of stitches. Work back and forth in rows; do not join.

Use stitch markers to aid in counting stitches as they are picked up; try putting a stitch marker every 50 stitches. Removable stitch markers are also helpful in dividing the piece into sections for more evenly distributed stitches.
