HOW TO READ THE CHART ABOVE:
- Read the chart from right to left, bottom to top.
- The Red squares indicate when you’ll work a dc.
- Make sure to work the dc in the front loops of stitches 2 rounds below the current round.
- The vertical numbers indicate the round you’re on. Begin following the chart and working long dc in round 1 of Argyle Design – Body of Hat.
- The horizontal numbers represent the stitch number. This stitch pattern is a multiple of 8 stitches.
- After working Round 17, continue with Round 18 above.
