Notes

This week is a new motif pattern. Where there are tr4tog in Round 3, note that these are worked over 2 Puff Stitches from the previous round, so that the first 2 ‘legs’ of the tr4tog are worked in the first Puff Stitch, and the second 2 legs of the tr4tog are worked in the second Puff Stitch. Note that you will always be working the first half of the tr4tog in the same stitch as the one just worked.
