Technical Notes

Before you start crocheting, follow these initial guidelines for working with the O’Go format:

• To begin, carefully cut the plastic tie where the ends of the O’Go meet and pull the tie to remove it.
• Colors can be separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition.
• Place each color section in its own resealable bag labeled A, B, C, D, and E for easier access.
• To change color, work to the last two loops on your hook, draw the new color through those loops, and proceed with the new color.
• When working from a chart, carry the yarn not in use loosely across the top of your work, and work the next row over it.
