EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
CHAIN STITCH:
If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 single/double/treble crochet is wide.
CROCHET INFORMATION:
Each round of single crochets starts with 1 chain stitch, which replaces the first single crochet on the round. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in this chain stitch.
Each round of double crochets starts with 3 chain stitches which replace the first double crochet on the round. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch.
CHANGING COLOR:
For the neatest transition when changing colors, work the last slip stitch on the round with the new color as follows: Insert the hook in the first chain stitch at the beginning of the round, pick up the new strand, make 1 yarn over with the new color and pull the yarn over through the stitch on the hook.
COLOR PATTERN (in the round):
When working with 2 colors on a round of single crochets, work as follows:
Work the last single crochet with the first color, but wait with the last pull-through, change color and pull the new strand through, then work the next single crochet.
When working with 2 colors on a round of double crochets, work as follows:
Work the last double crochet with the first color, but wait with the last pull-through, change color and pull the new strand through, then work the next double crochet.
When working with 2 colors, lay the strand you are not working with over the stitches from the previous round and work around this strand so it is hidden – and carried forward.
WORK 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS TOGETHER (in the same stitch):
* Make 1 yarn over, insert the hook through the next/same stitch, pick up the strand, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through the first 2 loops on the hook *, work from *-* a total of 3 times in the same stitch, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through all 4 loops (= 2 double crochets decreased).

Do you have this pattern written out in words? I can’t work with diagrams. I’m 63 and it’s hard to read those symbols. I really want to make some of these. Please help.

Dear Marcia, all patterns are only available as seen online, in a mixed format with both written instructions and diagrams. If the chart is too small you could try increasing their size in the computer or before printing the pattern. You can also check the following lesson on how to read crochet diagrams: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=69&cid=19. Happy crochetting!
