Row 4 - 80

Repeat Row 3

Find out the colours for every row in the table below. 

Please note: 

Every colour has a different amount of rows, so check for each colour how many rows you are doing. Tick off the rows as you go along. Place a stitch marker every 10 rows to help you keep track. 

Each time you will notice the number of clusters in the row is the number of the row. Row 4 = 4 clusters, Row 27 = 27 clusters, etc.

The ‘CH3’ stands for a double crochet (first two chains) and a CH for the CHSP (third chain). 

How to change colour 

On the last DC of the row, do not do the last pull through but use the new colour to do the last pull through. 

No mention is made of cutting off the yarn as you will have to do that according to the colour table. So each time you change colours cut it off and remember to sew in the ends at regular intervals! 

Please remember you are not changing colours every row! Check the table below. 

!! At the end of the week:

Make sure you have sewn in all your ends!
