Pattern Overview

To finish and frame the throw, an additional seven rounds of lemon-peel stitch are worked in single colours.

Pattern Notes

Please read through the notes and pattern before starting.
-This pattern uses a magic ring, but it is not essential to the pattern. An alternative is suggested.
This pattern suggests that you turn the work over after each round – this helps to keep the square even.
-Instead of closing each round by working the corner chains and then working a slip stitch in the first stitch of the round, this pattern works a UK half treble crochet into the first stitch. This means that the loop is perfectly in the centre of the corner, so that you can turn and start the next round without needing to slip stitch into the corner.
-The UK half treble crochet stitch closing the round counts as a chain-2 corner space.
-This pattern uses UK terminology.
