CORNERS
Work 2 onto the Half Circle.
Using stitch markers, mark the 8th ch-1 sp at each side of the Half Circle (this will become the centre of each Corner). Spaces are numbered with the straight edge of the Half Circle at the bottom, counting from each side of the Half Circle towards the centre (see image above). The numbered spaces are shown in the pattern as Right Corner (Left Corner). For the Right Corner, use Yarn D as First Colour, and Yarn E as Second Colour. For the Left Corner, use Yarn E as First Colour and Yarn F as Second Colour.
