NOTE: When working round 5, the chains will ultimately make “junctions” where they connect. These do NOT count as stitches. Do not work into them as you work back down the chains as this will throw off your stitch count. (Please see the FINAL repeat segment in the video for the best demonstration)
***NOTE: As of 12/12/24 I have found an error in the video when working the 1st repeat section of round 5. Please skip to the final repeat section in the video for an accurate demonstration.
