Materials Needed
To begin crocheting this pattern, you will need the following materials:
- Yarn (any kind)
- Crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle (optional)
Make sure you have all the necessary materials before starting the project. Now, let's move on to the next step.
Foundation Chain
The first step in crocheting this pattern is creating the foundation chain. You can make any amount of chains, but it should be a multiple of two. For example, let's create 18 chains plus two chains for a total of 20. Count your chains as you go to ensure accuracy. Once your foundation chain is ready, we can proceed to the next step.
First Row - Single Crochet
Now it's time to crochet the first row. This row will consist of single crochet stitches. Begin by making a chain to bring up the yarn and insert the hook into the third chain stitch away from the hook. Make a single crochet stitch. Continue making single crochet stitches into each chain stitch of the foundation chain. Work your way to the end of the row. Congratulations, your first row of single crochet is complete!
First Row of Main Pattern
The next step is to crochet the first row of the main pattern. This row will consist of "my cool" stitches. Start by making a chain of four to bring up the yarn. Turn your work and yarn over the hook twice. Skip the first stitch and insert the hook into the second stitch. Make a treble crochet, which will serve as the base for your stitches. Yarn over the hook and insert it into the first pair of horizontal strands. Pull up a loop, then yarn over again and insert the hook into the next layer. Pull up a loop. Continue this process until you have a completed stitch. Repeat this stitch twice and continue working until the end of the row.
Second Row - Single Crochet
After completing the first row of the main pattern, it's time to crochet the second row. This row will consist of single crochet stitches. Start by making a chain, then turn your work. Skip the first stitch and insert the hook into the next stitch. Make a single crochet stitch. Continue making single crochet stitches into each stitch of the previous row. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the row. This second row of single crochet is now complete.
Next Piece of Pattern
Now that you have completed the first two rows of the main pattern, you can continue to crochet the next piece of the pattern. This piece will be similar to the first one. Begin by making a chain of four to bring up the yarn. Turn your work and examine the piece of pattern you have already created. Skip the first stitch and insert the hook into the next stitch. Make a treble crochet stitch, following the same steps as before. Repeat this stitch as many times as needed for your project.
