graph. click the link on
the next page to get to
the full graph.
Graph Tips
• Start by following the grid right to left , (ch 1 & turn) then work
left to right on the graph for the even rows (2,4,6..)
• Each box is 1 sc
• You can carry your yarn every few stitches, or if you’re like me -
only carry the yarn to the sts that the color is needed; this will
give your piece a messy back but a very clean front
• You can count your stitches regularly if needed -each row

should have 76 sts
• It’s very important to know [RS] “right side” & [WS] “wrong
side” when working the pattern. There is a natural shift when
working side to side & you will notice breaks in the pattern or
parts that appear warped if you mix these up

Color block instructions
Start by ch 76 in black,
(change color to grey) ch 1 and
turn
-each st is a sc
-at the end of each row, ch 1

and turn
-The chain does not count as a

st
Note that the number inside each box is the

number of sts in that color
For example: a black colored box with

the number “3” means five sc in the color
black
When working up the rows
-it’s important to know that all odd rows

[RS] “right side” should be facing you
[WS] means “wrong side” -this will be

facing you on your even rows; this side will
have all you loose ends & will be the side
you carry your yarn

Making the border
Once you’ve finished your last row, switch to your border color, ch 2 & turn
Then sc through the first st, ch 1, skip the next st, sc & ch 1.
Repeat this pattern across skipping every other st & ch 1 after every st
At the corner, sc in the latest st, ch 2 & sc back into that same corner st.
Then, start following the same pattern (from the first text) to the side evenly (repeat this at
each corner)
14
Attaching the Dowel

Rod
Once done with the border, ch 2
Yarn over your dowel rod & make a sc in the corner st.
Then ch 1 & work a sc in the next st
Continue this pattern along the dowel rod
Note this is the same pattern used for the border, the only difference is yarning over the dowel rod before
you sc.
After your last sc in the corner st, start making a chain
-once long enough, attach the chain to the other side of the dowel rod & fasten off
