• Click the Videos tab to watch a video tutorial on how to work the first few rows.
• The total yardage for sizes without the collar: S/M: 820 yds (750 m), L/XL: 1053 yds (963 m), and 2XL/3XL: 1317 yds (1204 m).
• The total yardage for sizes with the collar: S/M: 1040 yds (951 m), L/XL: 1305 yds (1193 m), and 2XL/3XL: 1601 yds (1464 m).
• Each blocked panel size (width x length): S/M: 16” (41 cm) x 28” (71 cm), L/XL: 18” (46 cm) x 32” (81cm), and 2XL/3XL: 20” (51 cm) x 36” (91 cm).
• The sample was made using an alternate double crochet starting chain as it makes a cleaner edge, but it is not a requirement. You can chain 3 instead, if you prefer.
• You will be crocheting multiple dc stitches around the post of one dc to create a slanted look.
• Gauge isn’t critical but can affect the yardage used. Make sure you purchase enough yarn to complete your project.
• Size L/XL has one more double crochet between repeats then the other sizes. This is not a typo.
• My tester’s found that if they were between XL and 2XL, the L/XL fit better.
