Technical Notes

Before you get started, some technical notes to keep in mind:

• Working with the O’Go: Cut the plastic tie where the ends of the O’Go meet, pull the tie to remove it, and gently separate the colors at the transitions. It’s helpful to place each color in its own resealable bag marked A, B, C, D, and E.
• Changing Colors: To change colors, work to the last two loops on your hook, draw the new color through, and continue crocheting with the new color.
• Carrying Yarn: When working from a chart, carry the yarn not in use loosely across the work’s top.
