PATTERN NOTES
All color changes will be on the same side of the piece. Thread can be carried up the side. It will be hidden in the seam.
Chain-2 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
Feel free to add a few extra chains to the beginning chains so you are sure to have enough when you get to the end of the starting row. The unused ones can be removed later.
