Notes
The pattern is worked in rounds.
Ch 3 at the beginning of the round does count as a stitch when applicable.
Ch1 at the beginning of the round does not count as a stitch.
You can work this pattern with one color or multiple as you wish - I used two solid colors.
If changing colors, make sure to have a changing technique and weave your ends in.
