Notes
To work an invisible join when joining sc: Cut yarn and pull through center of last st made. Do NOT fasten off the regular way. Insert hook from right to left in 2nd st to left and pull yarn through. Insert hook from right to left in the middle of the last st made (the one you pulled the yarn through initially) and pull yarn down through the middle of this st.
