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.

You may find it helpful to place each color section in its own resealable (zip lock) bag and label each bag A, B, C, D and E.
