special instruction

Notations, and techniques used:
Magic circle is used to begin each piece in the round
Parentheses are placed around instructions that will be repeated. “Around” indicates that the instructions will be repeated until the end of the round. Stitch markers are strongly encouraged.
The numbers in brackets at the end of each round/row indicate how many stitches should be in that round/row.
Because a decrease spans 2 stitches, I prefer to say “across next stitches” instead of “in next stitch.” “DEC across next sts” just indicates a normal decrease.
