Note: Pattern corrections can be found here.
Additionally, please read this helpful note from one of our readers before you get started: "THEY MISSED A CORRECTION on the last round with the single crochets around the bottom edge. You do 3 single crochet and then an exdc when there is an exdc 2 rows below, but they don't tell you to do a treble when there are trebles below. When you look at the picture, they have trebles above trebles and exdc's above exdc's. It only tells you to do exdc's throughout the last round." - rhamlettpoms 45336 02
