Graph notes: Do not carry the middle color to the edge. We will not be working a row of sc down the edge so you want it as neat as possible. Drop the color to the back and finish out the row with the main color, and pick up the 2nd color when you need again in the next row.

Assembly

Finish your watch bands by pulling a few lengths of yarn and braiding them together (about 3 1/2″ long). Tie a firm knot at the end of each braid. You will use the braids to tie the watch to your wrist.
