Comments

The following corrections were made to this pattern on 4/28/12:

Row 4 now reads: "Sl st to corner loop, ch 3, 6 dc in same space." The "6" was missing originally.

On row 9 in the next to last line, now reads "1 dc in each of the next 7 dc". It was originally incorrect as: 1 dc in each of the next 16 c.
