Notes:

• Measure the length of starting chain around the head to get an accurate length.   The starting chains must be dividable by 3 so the pattern will work. 

• Use Stitch marker to ensure you do not lose any stitches.

·       Ch1 stitch to beginning of rounds does not count as a stitch.

·       Treble stitches on Round 31 which are placed into the front loops of Round 28 count as a st.  

·       Do not make Treble stitches too tight.
