Pattern Notes
A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches; do not join. To measure length, measure from point to inverted point. While gauge is not critical to this piece, changes to it will result in changes to yarn requirements and size.
TipTry casting on and binding off in different colors for a bit more color.
