“ Work over your 2nd color (lay the strand of yarn along your work and sc. with the 1st. color as usual) . This is done throughout—using alternating colors as the block indicates.
Row 1: 1st. color—1 sc. in 2nd ch. from hook and in each st. across ch. Ch. 1 turn. Pull the strand of yarn you’re working over to the back of your work after the Ch. 1 in each row. (To keep your work smooth on the edges.)
Rows 2 to 14: 1 sc. in each st. across row—ch. 1 to turn each row. Tie off yarn. Keep the yarn you are working over just tight enough not to pull your work.
