Notes:
Piece is made with 10 squares and 5 triangles, stitched together. Tie is added to finished, stitched-together piece.
Squares are made in rounds.
Ch 3 counts as a dc.
Ch 1 and ch 2 in round count as stitches.
If a number comes before a stitch, it means to work that many stitches into the next stitch or space. For example, 3dc means to work 3 double crochet stitches into the next stitch or chain space.
Stitches written between brackets are also worked in one stitch. For example [Ch 3, dc ] are both worked into the same stitch.
