how did everyone do with the first clue? it should look like this..
I chained 32 which measures about 7 inches.
this is where it might get a little tricky for the newbies. but if I can do it... so can you. the special stitches are not hard. I found few videos on youtube to help you out if you are a visual person.
The next few stitches will help you determine if you want to use a multi colored yarn or keep the solid.
Special Stitches:
Puff Stitch (pst) : ( yarn over, insert hook in next stitch to be worked, and draw up a loop to height of dc) 4 times; yo and draw through all 9 loops on hook. pst made. find video HERE
Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc): yo, insert hook from front to back to front around post of specified stitch and draw up a loop; (yo, and draw through 2 loops on the hook) twice. FPdc made. find video HERE
follow my pattern not the video. I added the videos for the stitch.
Pattern
rows 1 and 2 can be found HERE.
row 3: * Pst in next dc, FPdc around the next dc; repeat from * across, dc in last stitch; ch 3. turn.the puff stitch should pop a bit .(31 sts)
row 4: dc in all stitches across . (31 sts)
I only did row 3 once, but it is up to you if you want to continue. if you do , repeat rows 3 and 4. stop with a row 4.
row 5: join ends with a sl st. sc in all dc. (31 sts)
