Notes:
- Turning chain does NOT count as your first stitch (unless otherwise specified). So, when working flat, be sure to work your first stitch in the very first stitch. And when working in the round, be sure to work your first stitch in the same stitch as join.
- Drop Dc’s are worked in the chain 1 space 2 rounds prior unless otherwise stated.
