GAUGE:
9 dc + 8 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] with 2 strands of yarn held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
dc2tog (dc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st, and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
NOTES:
To change color, work last stitch to the point where there are 2 loops on hook, yarn over with new color to complete stitch.
Always ch 3 at beg of every WS row, and ch 2 at beg of every RS row.
This helps shape a slight curve, making it easier to coil the strip.
Use 2 strands of yarn held tog throughout.
