Notes

Cast on as per directions, work until colors are gone. I got 8 repeats of the five colors, 40 color rows instead of the pattern recommended 37. I used some Oceana and Spring Brook to finish off the final Peacock Feather section and the last of the Oceana was also used in the final Sunset row. Both the Rose Garden and Sunset rows ran out of yarn before the end, so I added the black back in at the second chain then did double crochets rather than single crochets with black to fill in the gaps until I hit the point where the color ran out. A little bit of fudging to make it work, but I used up all the colors and made a blanket!
