Stripes

If you would like your cloth to be striped, here are some suggestions:

Change colors after the hdc rows. This way the different color will emphasize the post cluster sts.
Change colors every two rows and carry the unused yarn up the side of the cloth. You won’t have to weave in a bunch of tails and the border from step 6 will cover the yarns running up the side.
To get the beginning and ending stripes close to the same width, I started with green and changed to white for the second row of cluster stitch. After the last white stripe, I worked one cluster row, one hdc row, one cluster row, one sc row. I then added the border.
