Pattern Overview
Dimensions: 40x48 inches by 60 inches
- Stitch Pattern: Alternating three rows of Moss Stitch and two rows of front post single crochet, with regular rows of single crochet between.
- Texture: This design ensures a textured B side thanks to the Moss Stitch.
Getting Started
Begin by chaining 130. Ensure you have an even number of chains to fit the pattern correctly.
First Row: Start with a row of single crochet stitches.
- Insert hook, yarn over, pull through a loop, yarn over again, and pull through two loops.
Marking: At the end of the first row, don't work into the turning chain but the first stitch from the hook. Mark this first stitch with a stitch marker or an alternative marking tool.
Continue with Moss Stitch
Moss Stitch pattern: This involves a combination of slip stitches and half double crochets.
- For a slip stitch: Pull through once, then pull through a second time without yarning over.
- For a half double crochet: Yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through once, yarn over again, and pull through all loops on the hook.
Repeat: Slip stitch, half double crochet, until the end of the row. Chain one, turn, and mark your first stitch to keep edges straight.
