Preparation and Techniques
Working in a spiral
This pattern does not utilize continuous rounds; instead, it joins each round with a slip stitch to complete individual motifs.
Changing yarn colors
To change yarn colors, complete the last stitch of the old color, then pull the new color through the last loop, creating a seamless transition.
Joining rounds
Always join rounds with a slip stitch to the third chain of the beginning ch-6, except where noted otherwise.
