Notes

I had a lot of trouble with the first three rows and the extra picture tutorial just confused me more.

I ended up disregarding the number of times it tells you to repeat and just kept a tally of how many sc’s I made on Rnd 2 and stopped when I got to 10.

I had a lot of trouble with the adc as well, so I made this tutorial video in case anyone else needs it:

After those first few rounds I started having a lot of fun with this pattern and I really like the way it’s turning out.


Starting with green I tried doing the adc differently, only going through the front post of the side of the dc. I think this is more accurately what the pattern writer intended, but I don’t really see a difference.


I’m making a rainbow but I miscalculated. I did the math for 7 colors, but I forgot Roy G Biv includes two blues. I only have one blue, so I’ll have to wait until I can go buy a lighter blue.


I’ve decided to just add pink to make 7 colors.
