Article: Crochet Society Advent Crochet Along - Day 13

Welcome to day 13 of the Crochet Society Advent Crochet Along! In today's session, we will be continuing to add to our work using Color 13 and Color 12 from yesterday. We'll be using a four millimeter hook and also a three millimeter hook. If you have adjusted your hook size to suit your tension, simply go down one hook size from the one you started with.

Let's get started with row 1. With the right side of your work facing you, create a slip knot on your hook and begin with a standing double crochet into the very first stitch. Make sure to mark this stitch with a stitch marker for easy reference. Remember, I'll be using UK crochet terms, which are equivalent to single crochet in US terms. For row 1, we will be doing a back loop double crochet into each stitch across until you have one stitch remaining. You should have a total of 171 stitches. Finish row 1 by doing a double crochet into the last stitch. Fasten off the yarn and join Color 12 from yesterday into the first stitch with a standing double crochet to begin row 2.

For row 2, we'll be starting with a pattern repeat. Begin with two back loop double crochets, followed by a front loop treble two down. To do this, locate the next stitch and find the front loop between the trebles from the previous row. Then, do two back loop double crochets. Repeat this pattern across until you have two stitches remaining. Finish row 2 with a back loop double crochet and a double crochet in the last stitch. Fasten off the yarn and join Color 13 for row 3 with a standing double crochet.

In row 3, we'll continue with the pattern repeat. Start with three back loop double crochets, followed by a front loop treble two down. Then, do two back loop double crochets. Repeat this pattern across until you have two stitches remaining. Finish row 3 with a back loop double crochet and a double crochet in the last stitch. Fasten off the yarn and switch to a three millimeter hook for row 4.

For row 4, we'll be working on the wrong side of the work. Begin by chaining three, which counts as a treble crochet. Then, do two trebles into the next stitch. Continue with the pattern repeat by skipping two stitches and doing three trebles into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across until you have four stitches remaining. Finish row 4 with two trebles in the next stitch and one treble in the final stitch.

Turn your work for row 5, with the right side facing you. Chain one, and then start the pattern repeat with five double crochets. Chain two and skip a stitch, then repeat the pattern across. Finish row 5 with one double crochet into the top of the chain from the beginning of the previous row. Turn your work again for row 6, with the wrong side facing you. Chain one, do a double crochet in the first stitch, and continue with the pattern repeat. Finish row 6 with a double crochet in the last stitch.
