Notes

It starts out pretty wavy but flattens out a lot by row 8

I got all the way to the middle of row 13 and decided I didn’t like the green so I frogged it all the way back to row 5 and used white instead.

Round 22 is by far the most frustrating so far. The double fptr’s took forever for me to get to lay properly with out big loops of yarn and looking sloppy. I figured out to do the them as they suggest, but when you go to do the sc after the second one fptr, reach up under the first into the stitch, yarn over and bring it back underneath the first fptr and finish the sc on top. This tightens up the point of the 2 fptr’s.

Round 23 - If you follow my instruction for round 22 you will need to make sure you find that sc to dc into in Round 23 after you make the fpdc. It is kind of hidden behind the fpdc you just made and you have to kind of dig for it. Alternatively you can dc in the last stitch before you fpdc, i believe it might be the top of the tr from the fptr in the previous round (it looks like a ch 1). Make sure you start out the round with 4 dc and catch that stitch also if you choose to do this. I tried both and I think this way looks better. Choose which ever, as long as you get those 18 dc’s.

Round 24 - If you started out round 23 with the 4 dc you will need to move your starting stitch of round 24 ahead one st. If yo uare changing colors just change which st you are sc’ing into and if not changing color just sl st to the next st.
