GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Starting 2ch is always considered as the 1^st tr of the round. I used 2ch instead of the usual 3ch, as the 3ch seemed to leave a gap between that and the next tr.

• Wherever the row starts with a 3ch, it is considered as 2ch+sp.

• If you want to use 3 colours, you will have to change colour at the end of the 4^th round and again at the end of the 14^th round.

• Rounds 13, 14 and 15 are tricky; please, pay attention to the instructions.

• You will need to mark the beginning of round 15 in order to make it easier to know where to start the next round.

Start with a magic circle
