PATTERN NOTES
When working Bed and Ears, hold 3 strands together throughout. It is important to keep very tight tension as that will allow the sides of the Bed to stand upright. Weave in loose ends as work progresses. Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated. Pattern is worked in continuous rounds. Mark first stitch of round and move marker up as work progresses.
