Notes: When necessary, work over unused strand to carry it along in work. Odd-numbered rows are read from right to left on chart and even-numbered rows are read from left to right on chart. Row 1 is the bottom of chart and Row 24 is the top of the chart. Each square on chart equals 1 sc stitch. White squares = white color yarn; yellow squares=yellow color yarn; black squares=black color yarn

Additional Notes: To change colors, work a sc with the old color, then, pull the new color through the last two loops to complete that single crochet.

To begin, ch 25.
Row 1: (With white) 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch across; ch 1, turn (now and thoughout pattern). (24 sc).
