Only Forward passes of each row are written out.
On Return passes with more than one color, use the color that matches the next loop on the hook.

Edging:
Note: I used dc for my edging round to get to 8” – check your gauge and if you need to adjust you can go down to sc or hdc, or up to tr.
Rnd 1: Ch 3, work 2 dc in corner, dc in each dc around placing stitches at the top through the vertical bars as if to TSS, on the sides at the rate of one dc for each row, and at the bottom in the opposite side of each foundation chain, working 5 dc in each corner. When you reach the beginning of the round, place 2 more dc in the same sp as the first 3 dc, join rnd with sl st in top of beg-ch-3.
Rnd 2: Sl st in each dc around. Join rnd with sl st in first sl st. Fasten off.
Finishing:
Weave in ends.
Block.
