Notes:

Invisible decrease - put hook through the front loop of two single crochet stitches, yarn over, and pull up loop (two loops on hook) yarn over and pull through two loops. 

• This pattern is worked from the top down in a continuous round.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the rounds.
• The Booty Crew can be made in any size yarn. So have fun playing with different yarn and hook sizes.  

• If you crochet loosely or plan to use a larger hook I would recommend getting two skeins of this Lion Brand yarn. This pattern uses almost all of one skein to finish.

• You may make and sell finished products from this pattern. Don’t forget to credit Crochet by Sarah Louise as the pattern designer. Please don’t copy or post this pattern or photos as your own
