Pattern Notes

• Pattern is written in US terms
• Be careful to twist Row 1 only once before completing the last fdc
• After the first row, each round is worked along the top and bottom before joining due to the twist.
• Each X-St is followed by a tr, so the Str counts as the tr for the last X-St, and all X-Sts and tr cover 5 stitches.
• The circumference can be adjusted by adding or subtracting multiples of 5.
• The height can be adjusted by adding or subtracting rounds.
