Special Note: A "db" stitch is used in the pattern below. After attempting to clarify this with the designer, unsuccessfully, a pattern tester has noted that it must be referring to a "double crochet" and is likely a misprint. However, until we can reach the designer, we cannot guarantee this is correct.
