Part 3
I released this version on Face Book Group :CCC Social along with the notion box.
The Gorgeous, original pattern Created by Dedri Uys is, unbelievably, free. Please visit.
In Addition to Dedri’s pattern and very helpful instructions, there are video tutorials Made by “It’s all in a Nutshell”. Please visit.
There were questions on the CCC Social group about the colors that I used. So, in an effort to be as accurate as possible I’m posting the palettes created for the project and the yarns, colors of the yarns and amendments made to the pattern are below the color chart. These are the palette files using ColourLovers.com as an aide.

Notes and amendments up to this point:
Notations for amendments to the pattern are made after the color definitions. Future rounds and parts colors and amendments will be logged as they are completed. Note about Caron Simply soft used with Redheart yarns: Simply soft has a tendency to separate and split without the added torture of combining it with the thicker Redheart yarns. Take your time with stitches. Have patience and love the texture and sheen in the end. I use a very old hook with Simply soft yarns. Years of wear on the old hooks have polished the working surfaces so that drag and tension are decreased. Keeping moisturizer on your hands helps as well. I wash my work at the end of each part to check for fray, remove residue and it helps the synthetic fibers remember their original density.
Part 1
I am using a size “F” hook instead of a “D” hook. The work is lighter weight but a lot more delicate as a result. Please keep this in mind as you choose your hook.
