Directions
Notes: Stu e is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join at end of rnds. Place marker on ‑ rst stitch of rnd and move marker each rnd to keep place. To change colors, work to last 2 loops on hook and draw new color through last 2 loops and proceed. When working with 2 colors in one rnd, carry color not in use loosely across top of row and work sts around it.
