Notes
- This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
Instructions
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an odd number of chain stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 31.
Row One: Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and into each st across. Ch 3, turn.
Row Two: *Dc2tog, ch 1; Rpt from * across to the final st, dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three: Sc in the 1st st, *sc2tog in the next ch-1 sp and st, ch 1; Rpt from * across to the final st, sc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 1 turn.
Row Four: Sc in the 1st st, *sc in the blo of next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Five: Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 3, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, repeat rows 2-5 for as long as you would like. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
