Introduction

Welcome to day 14 of the crochet society advent crochet along! In today's lesson, we will be continuing to build on our work using two different colors. We'll be using a three-millimeter crochet hook and following a pattern repeat to create a beautiful crochet piece. Let's get started!

Materials and Tools

Before we dive into the crochet pattern, it is important to gather all the materials and tools you'll need for this project. Here's a list of items you'll need:

• Yarn in color 13 and color 14
• A three-millimeter crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Clips (for securing yarn strands)

Make sure you have all these items ready before proceeding with the crochet pattern.

Row 1: Starting the Pattern

To begin row 1, remove the stitch marker and pull in the new color, color 14. Insert your hook into the first stitch and do a double crochet. Next, do a treble crochet into the top of the next stitch. This is also known as a double crochet in US terms. Continue this pattern repeat by chaining 2, skipping a stitch, and doing three double crochets. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Row 2: Continuing the Pattern

For row 2, chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch) and do two double crochets. Then, continue the pattern repeat by chaining 2, skipping the chain space, and doing three double crochets. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Row 3: Changing Colors

In row 3, drop color 14 and insert your hook into the first stitch. Pull up color 13 to start row 3. Chain 1 and do two double crochets. Continue the pattern repeat by doing one treble crochet, chaining 2, and skipping a stitch. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Row 4: Pattern Repeat

In row 4, start by chaining 1 and doing three double crochets. Follow the pattern repeat by chaining 2, skipping the chain space, and doing three double crochets. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Row 5: Treble and Double Crochets

For row 5, start by doing a double crochet into the first stitch, followed by two more double crochets. Continue the pattern repeat by doing one treble crochet, three double crochets, and repeating this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Row 6: Simple Double Crochets

In row 6, simply do one double crochet in each stitch all the way along the row. This row is straightforward and serves as a break from the pattern repeats.

Row 7: Fan Edging

Row 7 introduces a beautiful fan edging to your crochet piece. Start by chaining 2 (which counts as a double crochet and a chain 1). Then, do one double crochet into the second stitch. Follow the pattern repeat by skipping two stitches, chaining 1, and doing one treble crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern four times and finish with a chain 1. Continue the pattern repeat until you reach the end of the row, leaving the last stitch unworked.
