DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.Gold is Contrast A. Soft Pink is Contrast B.
To begin working with the O'Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O'Go meet. Pull tie to remove. Start stitching.
Colors can be easily separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition. Each color is ready to use.
To change color, work to last 2 loops on hook. Draw loop of next color through 2 loops on hook to complete st and proceed in next color.
Carry color not in use loosely up side of work.
Each skipped sc has ch-2 worked above it for 2 rows. This establishes the 'gap' where Mosaic Dc will later be worked
Mosaic Dc always replaces sc directly behind it on working row
WS of your work maintains alternating 2-row striped pattern because you
are working in front of chain spaces each time you work Mosaic Dc - you are never working around chain-spaces. The chain-spaces sit behind Mosaic Dc.
