Size before assembly: an oval about 10.5 × 4.1 cm at the widest, 10.9 cm long; 32 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 8 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
With sage: ch 18.
