Introduction
Welcome to this tutorial where we will be creating a larger table mate design. This design is easily customizable, allowing you to adjust the size according to your preference. In this article, we will go step by step through the process of creating this beautiful crochet pattern.
Materials Used
To get started, you will need the following materials:
- DK weight acrylic 4 ply wool
- 4 millimeter crochet hook
Round 1
First, make a loop and chain 5. Slip stitch into the first chain to join it in a round. In this round, we will be making 14 double crochets. Begin by chaining 3 and making the first double crochet. Continue making 13 more double crochets into the same space. Slip stitch into the third chain to complete the round.
Round 2
For round 2, chain 3 and make 1 double crochet into the same stitch. Then, make 2 double crochets into the next stitch. Continue this pattern of 1 double crochet and then 2 double crochets all around the round. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Round 3
In round 3, chain 3 and make 2 double crochets into the next stitch. Then, make 1 double crochet into each of the next stitches. Continue this pattern all around the round. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Changing Colors
Now, we will change to the next color. Chain 1 and make 1 double crochet into the next stitch. Then, chain 2. Make 3 double crochets together around the post of the double crochet. Skip the next stitch and make 1 double crochet into the next stitch. Continue this pattern all around the round.
Round 4 and 5
Repeat the pattern from round 4 and 5. Change the colors as desired and continue with the same pattern.
Round 6
In round 6, make 84 double crochets all around. This round follows the same pattern as round 2. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Round 7 and 8
For rounds 7 and 8, make 10 double crochets in each stitch. Chain 3 in the beginning and join with a slip stitch into the third chain.
Round 9 and 10
In rounds 9 and 10, follow the same pattern as rounds 4 and 5. Repeat the pattern and change colors as desired.
Round 11
In round 11, make 164 double crochets all around. Continue with the same pattern as round 7. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Round 12
Make 10 double crochets in each stitch for round 12. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Round 13
In round 13, make 11 double crochets in each stitch. Slip stitch into the third chain to join.
Adding Lace Edging
To add a lace edging, chain 6 and skip 6 stitches. Double crochet into the next double crochet post and make a slip stitch. Continue this pattern around.
Final Touches
Continue working the same pattern in each chain space around. Change colors as desired. Finally, make a slip stitch into the middle of the stitch and finish off the pattern.
