            Thank you for crocheting my design, I hope you have fun along the way.

I have used Catona about 87 grams = around 220 meters. Consumption can vary depending on the crochet strength and also which yarn you choose to use. The pattern is written after only one color has been used. Crochet Hook 3,5 Size around 37cm I have chosen not to block my work but only used the iron to get a more compact result. Description of stitches: Sl st = Slip stitch Ch = Chain Sc = Single crochet Dc = Double crochet Hdc = Half Double Crochet Fpsc = Front post single crochet Fphdc = Front post half double crochet Puff = do the following 3 times - yarn over, insert the hook in the specified stitch. You now have 7 loops in total on the hook. Pick up yarn and pull through all loops, lock puff with 1 ch. Picot = crochet with ch2, 1sl st in the first ch.

*_* = Repeat the whole round (_) = Total number of stitches for finished round

Each round ends with sl st in the 1st st on round.

Start with ch4 and make a loop with 1sl st in the first ch.
