Notes and Tips

This pattern is written using US crochet terms
The number in (parentheses) at the end of each row is the stitch count after finishing that row
Italicized notes tell you what to change to adjust the size
The chain 3 at the beginning of each round DOES count as a double crochet
The slip stitch at the end of each round goes into the top of the chain 3 from the beginning of that round
The first cluster of every new round goes into the space right at the base of the turning chain
The last rep in Rounds 2-3 will go into the first space of that round
