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. 
Colors can be easily separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition. Each color is ready to use.
Designate each color A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I as indicated in shade palette.
To join new color, work to last loops on hook of previous color. Yoh with new color, draw through rem loops and proceed with new color.
Pattern is worked in multiple motifs that are joined together into 4 Panels during Assembly.
Panels have sections worked off the sides before being seamed tog in Finishing.
It may be helpful to place a removable st marker on RS of work to keep track of RS and WS.
Gauge and Blocking are very important for this project. Please double check your gauge and dimensions for each Motif/Panel as you work to ensure all your pieces will fit tog in Finishing.
If you achieve gauge, and your Motifs aren't measuring up, please try going up or down a hook size as necessary to get the correct Motif size. With bulky yarns, going up or down a hook size won't necessarily affect the number of stitches in your measured gauge, but it can make a tighter or looser fabric with a very similar gauge that can affect the overall size of your finished Motif.
