Notes1. Before working with Caron® x Pantone™ Bamboo™ multi-shade yarn braid, separate each color link and wind into 5 separate balls.

2. Each color link will be referenced by its Pantone # (see ball band).

3. Due to finite amount of yarn in each shade, pattern gauge must be matched to ensure successful results.

4. To join new color, work to last loops on hook of first color. Yoh with new color, draw through loops and proceed with new color.

5. Ch 2 at beg of row does not count as hdc.
