SPECIAL STITCHES
- Foundation Half Double Crochet (fhdc):
- First fhdc: Ch 2, yarn over, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook (creates a “chain”), yarn over and draw through remaining 3 loops on hook (creates the “hdc”)
- Next fhdc: Yarn over, insert hook into “ch” just created (at the base of the previous st), yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook (creates a “chain”), yarn over and draw through remaining 3 loops on hook (creates the “hdc”)
- Third Loop (3rd loop): Middle bar located on wrong side of st under the top two loops (created by the yarn over)
- Half Double Crochet 2 Together (hdc2tog): Yarn over, *insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop; repeat from * in next stitch indicated, yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on hook. (1 decrease)
- Linked Treble Crochet (Linked tr):
- First Linked tr: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yarn over and pull up a loop (creates 1 “yo”), insert hook into next ch, yarn over and pull up a loop (creates 2nd “yo”), insert hook into stitch indicated, [yarn over and pull through 2 loops on hook] 3 times.
- Next Linked tr: Insert hook (staying on the right side from the top to the bottom vertically) into the first horizontal middle bar (created by the “yo”), yarn over and pull up a loop, insert hook into next middle bar, yarn over and pull up a loop, insert hook into next stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, [yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] 3 times
- Joining Linked Treble Crochet (joining linked tr): Insert hook (staying on the right side from the top to the bottom vertically) into the first horizontal middle bar (created by the “yo”), yarn over and pull up a loop, insert hook into next middle bar, yarn over and pull up a loop, insert hook into next stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop, , skip next st, [insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and draw through stitch and 2 loops on hook at the same time] 3 times
NOTES
- There are options in the pattern to use stitches other than what is shown on the sample. You only need to choose ONE of the options.
- For example, the pattern start is written for foundation stitches; but if you do not like foundation stitches, please follow option #2 with chains. Both options will work and the option is for what you enjoy to crochet more.
- Project is worked in the round without turning at the end of the round.
- Working in the third loop of the hdc gives a wonderful texture to the project, but if this is too challenging or not enjoyable, just work through either the back loop or both loops as normal.
