The Multiples of this stitch
This stitch is done in multiples of 4 + 3
To start:
What this means is you ch in multiples of 4 until you reach your desired size, then once you have, ch 3 more and then you’re ready for row 1.
Row 1
DC in the 3rd ch from the hook.
DC in all stitches of row. Make sure you end your row on an even #
Ch 3 and Turn
Row 2
Using the very first POST of the row.
YO and FPDC on the First and Second post’s of row.
*YO and BPDC on the post’s of the next two stitches
YO and FPDC on the post’s of the next two stitches*
repeat for row.
You should end perfectly on a pair of stitches. Either 2 FPDC’s or BPDC’s.
Ch 3 and Turn
Rows 3 & 4
We’ll be doing the opposite of what you see this row.
Meaning you’ll be Crocheting a BPDC on your FPDC’s and vise versa
So if you ended on 2 BPDC’s last row, then when you ch 3 and turn they will be FPDC’s facing you this row. Instead of going with the flow and doing FPDC’s on your FPDC’s instead you’ll be doing BPDC’s on them.
You’ll repeat this for the row, continuing to put FPDC’s on your BPDC’s and etc… until you reach the end of your row.
Ch 3 and Turn
Rows 5 & 6
For the next two rows it’s time to go with the flow!
You will be crocheting FPDC’s on your FPDC’s and BPDC’s on your BPDC’s and etc… until you reach the end of your row.
Ch 3 and Turn
Repeat rows 3 – 6
