Pattern Notes:

Pattern written using US terms.

In Tunisian crochet, the first loop on hook counts as a st and is included in st count.

Work in a spiral throughout. The Forward Pass yarn is used to pull up the loops while the Backward Pass yarn works the loops off the hook on the wrong side.

Use stitch markers to mark the four raglan stitches in row 2. Move the markers up each round if you find it helpful.
