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 a multiple of five stitches, plus 4 more (5 + 4) for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 34.

Row One: Dc in the 4th ch from your hook, ch 1, *sk the next 2 sts, dc in the next st, sk the next st, [dc, ch-1, dc] in the next st, ch 1; Rpt from * across until 5 sts remain, sk the next 2 sts, dc in the next st, sk the next st, 2 dc in the final st. Ch 3, turn.

Row Two: Dc in the 1st st, ch 1, *dc in the next ch-1 sp, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next ch-1 sp, ch 1; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in the final ch-1 sp, 2 dc in the turning ch-3 sp. Ch 3, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat row 2. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
