Notes

I cut the yarn after each stripe sequence and used the ends to tighten up the gaps that appear at the beginning of the rounds. It worked well! (Though it was a bit more work, weaving in all the ends.)

I didn’t have 2 of “Tokyo”, so I substituted with “Rome”.
2 of each colour are enough for this project.

It is an olympic year after all.
