DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.NOTES:
To begin working with the O'Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O'Go meet.
Pull tie to remove.
For this pattern, colors can be easily separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition. Each color is ready to use.
When working from 2 O'Gos, note that colors MUST match from both O'Gos when indicated. When starting new O'Go, take care to match the color change stripe in ring to keep the pattern consistent.
Leftover yarn can be used later to match up.
To change color, work to last 2 loops on hook and draw new color through last 2 loops, then proceed in new color.
Join all rnds with sl st to first sc.
Work with 2 strands of yarn held tog throughout.
