Ingredients
- Yarn: Worsted weight (weight 4, medium), around 340 yards, typically 4 skeins (about 100 g each)
- Hook: H-8 (5.0 mm)
- Yarn needle: For weaving in ends
- Scissors: Standard scissors to cut the yarn
- Stitch markers: Optional for marking the start of rounds
- Tape measure: To check sizing whenever needed
Instructions
- Begin with a foundation chain of 38 stitches.
- Make a turning chain of 2, then work into the 4th chain from the hook with a double crochet.
- Continue to work 1 double crochet into each of the remaining chains, for a total of 36 double crochets.
- For Row 2, turn and make a turning chain of 2. In the first stitch, work 1 double crochet, then create a bobble stitch in the next stitch.
- Continue to skip the next stitch and work 1 double crochet in the following stitch, repeating the bobble in the next stitch until you have 18 bobbles across the row.
- End the row with a slip stitch into the top of the turning chain from row 1.
- For Row 3, turn and chain 2. Work 1 double crochet in the first double crochet, then in the following bobble stitch, work 1 bobble.
- Continue alternating between a double crochet and bobble until you reach the end of the row, ending with a slip stitch into the turning chain.
- Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your work reaches approximately 12 inches in length or desired height.
- Weave in ends using a yarn needle. If your yarn allows, consider blocking the fabric by wetting it and laying it flat to shape.
Notes
Gauge is essential; consider creating a small swatch. Maintaining the correct yarn weight is crucial for the feel and drape of the finished piece.
