Notes: If you are not comfortable with making an adjustable loop, you can ch 2 and make sc's in 2nd ch from hook. At the end of each color you can sl st into next st and end off and join with the new color near the last st, or make a color change (depending on your crocheting ability). If you wish, you can use one darker color for color B and color C.
