For this pattern, we use a new color for each row.

1. Join new color into the top stitch space of the last stitch worked from the previous row, with a slip stitch, push hook thro loop, yarn over, pull thru loop, yarn over, pull thru loop, ( slip stitch), work 1 sc, over the slip stitch to secure the yarn, and complete the join.
2. push hook thru loop again, yarn over, pull back thru stitch, (two loops of hook, yarn over, pull thru both loops), sc st,

Now chain as many chains as the pattern required, yarn over , pull thru loop, (chain)

For example,

• ch 2 if you need a 2ch start for hdc
• ch 3 if you need a 3ch for a dc start.

A quick tip for keeping track as to which direction the next row needs to be

Always start your row on top of the tail from your previous row, meaning, if you finished your row, ended off your color, and your tail is left, when you turn your work, your joining stitch will be on the stitch with the ending tail, the ending tail will sit on your right when you are working towards your left.
