- Rep *-* refers to repeating the instruction within * and * throughout or to specified number of times in total. [ ]
x number of times refers to rep the instruction within [ and ] in x number of times.

- 1st dc: The first dc at beg of a row or a rnd is always replaced by ch 3.

- 1st sc: Beg with ch 1 for every row or rnd that starts with sc, then work 1 sc in 1st st.

- Change color: Change color at the end of each rnd/row - work last sl st or yarn over
with the new color, pull yarn of new color through last st on hook. Fasten off old
color.
- 1 Shell = 5 dcs + 4 chs: Work 5 dcs in same ch/sp with 1 ch between each dc.
- Stripe sequence: 1 stripe = 2 rows (row 3 + 4 or row 5 + 6 in Diag 4). Work 1 stripe
each with * CC1 lime, CC2 cerise, CC3 pink, CC4 red, CC2 cerise, CC3 pink, CC5
turquoise, CC2 cerise, CC3 pink, * (= 9 stripes totally in 1 rep), rep *-*.
