NOTE FOR ALL PATTERNS

If you don’t have a large enough hook, you can work the patterns by hand. Hold the loops in your palm as you would with the hook and use your fingers to pull loops through. Note this may affect size and yarn quantities. When weaving in ends, close the exposed end of the yarn with a needle and thread and weave in using your fingers.
