NOTES:
-
A "CH 1" space of a previous row is counted as a "stitch" when instructed to DC in ___ number of stitches. Therefore, some DC stitches will be made in the CH 1 space of the previous row.
-
The last stitch of “DC across” will be in the top of CH 3 of previous row. When in doubt, there should be 31 stitches across.
