Round 2 - 3:

Each square in this gingham pattern is made up of 3 rows. Once you’ve completed 3 rows in the same color placement, switch the color arrangement for the next 3 rows to create the classic gingham effect. From round 1-3 we're using white and light pink yarn. After this round you'll change the color placement where you'll use light pink and dark pink)
