Finishing Joining Crown To Cuff:
Pick up cuff and line it up to the crown so that one edge is lined up with the last round of the crown. Make sure the right side of both the crown and cuff are facing out. Line the stitch where you are at with any ch2 sp on the right hand side of any square. Work 1 sc in ch2 sp and sp bet dc on crown. *Sc in next sp bet dc on cuff and through next sp on crown at the same time. Rep from * around. Join w/slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave ends into back of work.
NOTE: Notice each square has 7 spaces from 1 ch2 sp on the right side to the ch2 sp on the left side of the square. It goes like this, Ch2 sp, 2sps bet the next 3 dc. Next ch1 sp. 2sps bet the next 3 dc. Next ch2 sp. There are 56 spaces on the crown. Divide this by 7 and you have 8 squares! 7 spaces on each square to match up with each space on the crown.
