Rows 1-50: In these rows, you will increase the squares at the beginning of each row.
Rows 50-99: The last half of the graph is worked by making a decrease at the end of each row.
Changing colors: This is the trickiest part of the pattern. When the pattern changes colors, simply pull the new color yarn when you make the slip stitch as you finish the previous square. Don’t cut the old color if you are not finished with it. Simply leave the yarn hanging until you come back to it in the next row. Fasten off the color only when the color is done in the graph. Tuck all the ends in. When I start a new color, after I pull it through the slip stitch, I make a small knot to secure it in place and then tuck in the end. Here is a video:

Row 51: Here is where we start decreasing at the beginning of each row. After you have done the last slip stitch on row 50 to connect the last two squares, turn you work over. Make a slip stitch from where you are to the 3 DC. Make the Slip stitch loose so you don’t tighten the square. It may look weird, but you will hide this Slip stitch when you make the border. You will do this at the beginning of rows 51 through 99. 11 W, 2 G, 10 GH, 8 G, 1 W, 6 P, 6 F, 5 W.
