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. Follow color guide shown in Materials section for
each O'Go (Contrast A, B, C, D and E). You may find it helpful to place each color section
in its own resealable bag and label bags A, B, C, D and E.
Due to finite amount of yarn in each shade, pattern gauge must be matched to ensure successful results.
Each rnd is worked with 1 color only.
Contrast A appears in both Art Nouveau and Rose Gold O'Gos.
Pillow worked in the rnd from bottom to top and seamed at cast on and cast off edges.
When carrying yarn behind slipped sts, be sure yarn is loose enough to maintain gauge and prevent work from puckering.
