PATTERN NOTES
Pocket and Mat are worked from side to side. To check gauge,
work Pocket first.
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
Work embroidery in Color Sequence shown or as desired.
Even tension as embroidery is worked is critical. Work stitching
snugly but not so tightly that Mat puckers. To avoid bulky
joins, work each row with single strand.
