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.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need a multiple of two stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Instructions
Row One:
Bean St in the 4th ch from your hook, *ch 1, sk the next ch, bean st in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 3, turn.
Row Two:
Sk the 1st bean st, bean st in the next ch-1 sp, *ch 1, sk the next bean st, bean st in the next ch-1 sp; Rpt from * across working the final bean st in the ch-3 sp at the end of the row. Ch 3, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern repeat row 2 for as long as you would like. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
