Important Notes

Ø  Turning chain does count as a stitch.

Ø  Important notes are highlighted with blue italics

Ø  When changing colors for the bikini bottom, do not carry the yarn through, rather drop it at the back of your work and pick it up when working the next row.

Ø  When working though changed color, insert yarn through the loose yarn first and then through the stitch, then pull through two loops. This will make your work look neat.

Ø  The sizes are coded as follows XS(S,M,L,XL)
