CROCHET INFORMATION:
Replace first double crochet on round with 1 chain stitch. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch at beginning of round. When switching colour on next row, you should switch colour before the last slip stitch is worked, this makes for nicer transitions on the stripes.
