  1. The color changes are written super confusing in this pattern somehow, because every time I see the color change written in line with the row instructions I get confused about what color I was supposed to do the row in. I ended up with an entire extra row of white (which I’m leaving in because I already redid the red one once because I messed it up too). He’ll just be a taller Santa. I think it would be less confusing if the color change were written at the beginning of the next row OR with a note like [Change to white/beige for the next row].
