Special Stitches
Half Double Crochet (hdc):
- Yarn over, insert hook into the stitch.
- Yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
Single and Double Crochet Combo:
- Insert hook into the indicated stitch and work a single crochet (sc).
- In the same stitch, yarn over and create a double crochet (dc).
The Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Wrapping the Loops
- Open your fingers and take the yarn you plan to use.
- Wrap the yarn around your fingers seven times. (You can do six loops for thinner results.)
- Once complete, check that the loops are even.
Step 2: Slip Knot
- Create a slip knot by pulling the working yarn through the loops.
- Hold all the loops firmly in one hand as you create the slip knot.
Step 3: Single Crochets Around the Loops (Round 1)
- Insert your 6mm hook under the loops and yarn over to make a single crochet (sc).
- Repeat this step several times, inserting your hook under all loops for each sc.
- If the single crochets seem spaced apart, gently push the stitches closer together for evenness.
- Work single crochets around the loops until the entire round is covered.
Step 4: Joining Round 1
- Once the round is complete, join the last single crochet with the first single crochet using a sl st.
Step 5: Starting the Repeating Row (Row 1)
- Ch 1 to begin the next row.
- Work a hdc in the same stitch as the chain 1 (this is the first sc from the previous round).
- Skip 1 stitch, then in the next stitch work:
- 1 sc followed by 1 dc in the same stitch.
Step 6: Continuing the Repeating Pattern
- Repeat the following sequence: Skip 1 stitch, work 1 sc and 1 dc in the next.
- Do this across the row until you reach the last stitch.
- In the last stitch of the row, work a hdc. This will mirror the starting half double crochet of the row.
Step 7: Turning for the Next Row
- Once the first row of the repeat is complete, ch 1 and turn your project.
- Begin the row with a hdc in the first stitch (from where the chain originated).
- Follow the same sequence as before: Skip 1 stitch, work 1 sc and 1 dc in the next.
- End the row with a hdc in the last stitch.
Step 8: Adding More Rows
- Continue this one row repeat pattern for 10 rows or until you reach your desired length.
- Remember to always start and end each row with a hdc, with the single and double crochet combinations worked in between.
Step 9: Adding the Chain Detail
- Once your 10 rows (or desired length) are complete, you will add a decorative chain.
- Ch 8 and connect it with a sl st, not to the first single crochet but to the turning chain of the corresponding row.
- Note: It may require careful maneuvering to slip stitch into the turning chain.
Assembly & Finished Size
- After completing the chain detail, fasten off your yarn and trim the end using scissors.
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends for a neat finish.
- The size will vary based on your completed rows and the number of loops in the foundation.
