CROCHET TIP FOR CHAIN STITCH:
If you work at the end of crochet hook the chain stitch will often be too tight. 
1 chain stitch should be just as long as 1 double crochet/treble crochet is wide. 

PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.4.

COLOUR CHANGE:
To get a nice transition between the colour changes, work last slip stitch on round with the new colour as follows: Insert hook in 1st/3rd chain stitch from beginning of round, get the new yarn and make a yarn over with the new colour and pull it through stitch on hook.

ROUND 1: Work with moss green.
ROUND 2: Work with off white.
ROUND 3: Work with sage green.
ROUND 4: Work with off white.
ROUND 5: Work with moss green.
