Introduction
Welcome to the Simple Bell tutorial! In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a feather stitch in crochet. This pattern is not only cute but also super easy to make. So, let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's gather the materials needed for this project. You will need:
- Crochet hook
- Yarn in your desired colors
- Scissors
Step 1: Making the Initial Chains
To start the feather stitch pattern, we need to make some chains. The number of chains should be a multiple of eight, plus two. For example, we will use 18 chains in this tutorial. Begin by making a single crochet in the second chain from your hook, and continue making single crochets in the remaining chains. You should end up with 17 single crochets.
Step 2: Making Rows of Single Crochets
To create the base of the feather stitch, we need three rows of single crochets. Chain one and turn your work. Single crochet into each stitch across. Repeat this process for two more rows.
Step 3: Adding a New Color
Once we have completed the first three rows, we can add a new color to our work. Snip the working yarn, pull it through the loop to secure, and grab your next color. Make a loop, insert your hook underneath the circle, and pull the yarn through.
Step 4: Creating the Feather Stitch
To make the feather stitch, insert your hook into the last stitch made, grab the yarn, and pull it through. For the next stitch, go down to the second row and pull up a loop. Continue alternating between the second and first rows, pulling up loops until you have six loops on your hook. Pull through all the loops and make a chain to close. Single crochet into the last stitch with a loop and into the next four stitches.
Step 5: Adding More Feathers
Continue creating feathers by repeating the process from Step 4. Insert your hook into the last stitch made, pull up a loop, and make feathers with alternating rows. Single crochet into the next five stitches after each feather.
Step 6: Continuing with Single Crochets
After completing the desired number of feathers, continue with rows of single crochets. Make sure to keep the same number of stitches as before, and chain one and turn your work at the end of each row.
Step 7: Repeating the Pattern
To continue the feather stitch pattern, repeat Steps 4 to 6 until you reach your desired height. This pattern is simple and consists mostly of single crochets.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to create a feather stitch in crochet. This pattern may seem complex at first, but with practice, it becomes easy to follow. Enjoy making this cute and versatile stitch in your future crochet projects. Happy crocheting!
