Tips

• Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to keep track of your progress.
• For a neater finish when decreasing, use an invisible decrease (insert hook into front loop of first stitch, then into front loop of second stitch, yarn over, pull through both front loops, yarn over, pull through both loops on hook).
• Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished item will be the intended size.
