Introduction
Welcome to today's tutorial on crochet! In this video, we will be using a beautiful yarn sponsored by Hobbii to create a gorgeous project. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial will guide you step by step through the process. So grab your materials and let's get started!
About the Yarn
The yarn we will be using for this project is made of 100% cotton and comes in a stunning color. It is a number two fine yarn, which means it is lightweight and perfect for a variety of projects. With each ball weighing around 200 grams and measuring 800 meters long, you will have plenty of yarn to complete your project.

Materials Needed
Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials on hand:
- 100% cotton yarn
- 5mm crochet hook
- Pair of scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Button (approximately 2 centimeters)
Getting Started
To start, we will be using two strands of yarn. Begin by making a slip knot and inserting the hook. Then, make a foundation chain of 96, or in multiples of 6. Add two more chains at the end to make a total of 98 chains. In the fourth chain from the hook, turn to the back and place a double crochet into the back of the chain. Continue double crocheting into each chain across, making sure to count the chain stitch as a stitch.
Making the Foundation Chain
In the first row, your goal is to double crochet into every chain stitch all the way across. By the end of the first row, you should have 96 stitches. This should measure just over 20 inches. If you prefer a different size, you can adjust the starting chain accordingly.
Rows 1-3: Double Crochet Increase
Now, we will be working on increasing the number of stitches. To begin row two, make two chains and turn. Remember, the two chains count as your first stitch. Double crochet into the next 7 stitches, including the two chains. In the next stitch, you will place two double crochets to create an increase. Repeat this pattern of double crocheting and increasing across the row.
Row three follows the same pattern. Make two chains and turn. Double crochet into the next 7 stitches, and then place an increase stitch into the second stitch of the previous row's increase. Continue repeating this pattern of double crocheting and increasing across the row.
In row four, make two chains and turn. Double crochet into the next 8 stitches, including the two chains. Then, repeat the pattern of double crocheting into 17 stitches and increasing. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Rows 4-37: Increasing Stitches
Continue working the pattern from row four, increasing the number of stitches by 6 in each row. You can stop at any length you prefer. For example, we will stop at row 37 with a total of 312 stitches, which measures around 15 inches just below the elbow.
Part 2: Creating the Pattern
Now that we have completed the first part, let's move on to part two of the pattern. Make one chain and turn. This chain does not count as a stitch. Double crochet into the next 3 stitches, including the chain. Then, create a pattern of chaining one, skipping one double crochet, and double crocheting into three stitches. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Adding Bobble Stitches
To add some texture to our project, we will be incorporating bobble stitches. In each row, single crochet into the designated number of stitches. Then, place a front post bobble stitch, followed by single crocheting into the next set of stitches. Repeat this pattern across the row.
Rows 1-4: Repeating the Pattern
Rows 1 and 2 of part 2 are repeated in rows 3 and 4 respectively. Follow the same instructions to create the pattern, which enhances the texture and visual appeal of the project.
Finishing Touches
Congratulations! You have completed the main part of the project. On the final row, single crochet into the last 5 stitches, including the chain stitch. Then, make one chain and cut the yarn. Weave in all the loose ends and attach a button to the designated area. Make sure the button fits snugly into the double crochet stitches.
