✿ Notes

‣ This pattern uses US terminology.

‣ We’ll be changing colors for this pattern. I’ll be using three colors for this pattern and I’ll refer to it as Col A, Col B and Col C. For Col A it is highlighted in Pink , Col B  is highlighted  in Blue , Col C is highlighted in Orange and Col C is only use for the ruffles. So, when you see that the next stitch is in a different color, it is time to change your yarn.
