This pattern is wonderful if you choose to make a cold weather afghan and if you want to make it even more beautiful, you can add a beautiful and easy to make scalloped border. It’s also great if you choose to make decorative potholders or placemats for your kitchen or as gifts. There are so many choices for this pattern.
Pattern:
Step 1: With color A chain a multiple of 5 + 2– for this project I chose 25+ 2, so I made a chain of 27
Step 2: sc into the second chain from the hook, *ch 5, sc into the 5th chain from the hook* Repeat directions in ** until you have completed the row– this will create loops– my pattern made 5 loops because my multiple of 5 was 25
Step 3: With color B, attach at the first sc made with color A. Ch 4. *2 dc into 3rd chain of top portion of the first loop. Ch 1. 2 dc into the same chain*– This creates a \”shell\”. Repeat directions in between ** until you have completed the row. 1 triple crochet into color A.
Step 4: Flip over work. Fold up color A loops to match with color B shells. Using color A, ch 4. *2 dc into the hole made by both the color A loop and the color B shell. Ch 1. 2 dc into same hole.* Repeat directions between ** until you have completed the row. 1 triple crochet into both color A and color B.
Step 5: Using color B, *ch 5. 1 sc into gap between color A and color B*– this creates one loop. Repeat directions between ** until you have completed the row.
Step 6: Flip work over. Using color B, ch 4. Fold up color B loops to match with color A shells. *2 dc into hole made by color B loops and color A shells. Ch 1. 2 dc into same hole*– this creates one shell. Repeat directions between ** until you have completed the row. 1 triple crochet into both color A and color B.
Step 7: Using color A crochet loops all the way across, then crochet shells all the way across.
Step 8: Using color B, crochet loops all the way across, then crochet shells all the way across.
Step 9: Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have completed your project.
Finish off and weave in ends.
