Throughout this crochet pattern, there are parentheses, square brackets and curvy brackets to show the stitches, rows or flower repeats for each Flourish design:

[for Homelea Bliss or super chunky yarn: square, cowl, scarf, wrap, throw, blanket]

For example, (34, 44, 44, 314, 144, 244) [14, 9, 9, 99, 44, 74] {5a} means:

Helpful hint: go through the pattern and highlight the numbers that are relevant to what’s being made or refer to the Progress Worksheet and Pattern Reference Sheet.

number of stitches at the end of each row

The total number of stitches in a row is shown in curvy brackets at the end of each row. For example {(x) [y] {5a} sts} means:

• x number of sts for Homelea Happy or a 10ply / worsted weight yarn
• y number of sts for Homelea Bliss or a super chunky yarn
• 5a is the final stitches in each row from the My Flourish Progress Worksheet

Count the number of stitches by counting the V’s at the top of each stitch.

turning chain

There is no turning chain used in this pattern. A dc (sc) and ch replaces a tr (dc) as the first st of every row.
