Hello Diane P. Baker. I just added in the notes section that I used Stacked Single Crochet instead of chain 3 at the beginning of the rows. The pattern itself uses a chain 3 as the turning stitch, but I chose to use stacked single crochets instead 😊 Both methods work the same in terms of height, but the ch-3 will leave a small gap at the edge, which is completely normal. The stacked single crochet just gives a neater, straighter edge without that space—so feel free to use whichever you prefer!
