PATTERN NOTES
In order to maintain straight edges in Tunisian Full Stitch Pattern, the pattern stitch uses a 2-row repeat.
Each row of Tunisian crochet consists of 2 parts: a forward pass where loops are worked onto the hook and a return pass where loops are worked off the hook.
Tunisian crochet is worked with the right side facing. Do not turn at end of rows unless otherwise stated.
Decreases occur on the return pass. This reduces the number of spaces available to work into on the next row’s forward pass.
When pulling up loops for Row 1 of Trim, it is a good idea to add 2 extra loops in each lower front corner.
