Notes:
-Written in US terms.
– I do not count the turning chain, as a stitch. This means you will crochet into the first stitch of the row and you will not crochet into the top of the turning chain.
– This pattern is extremely easy to adjust. The pattern can be made with any even number starting chain.
– Stitch counts are in parenthesis like this: (child size, adult size)
