GAUGE:

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sc2tog (sc 2 sts together) (Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw
through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.
hdc2tog (hdc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn
over and draw through all 5 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.

NOTES:

1. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw
through all loops on hook to complete the st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
2. Leave long yarn tails when fastening off. Use tails to sew pieces together and to sew pieces to Mat.
3. Project is designed to encourage creativity! Follow the pattern and the photo for placement of
buildings and other elements - or change the sizes, colors and other details as you wish!
