For this tutorial you'll need your selected yarn i'm going to be using the
Scheepies soft fun in the colour capri and also a four and a half millimetre crochet hook
but you can use whichever hook and yarn you prefer a pair of scissors and a darning needle will also
come in handy for sewing in your ends as always i'll leave all the links in the description box of
everything that you need and the link to the written pattern okay let's get started
to begin you want to create your slip knot and you can do this in whichever method you prefer
go ahead and insert your crochet hook and we're going to start off with a foundation chain
and we'll do this in a multiple of three plus two for turning so we're going to yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through and yarn over pull through that's three
and then one two three makes six and then you'll carry on in this multiple
of three until you get to your desired width of your project so go ahead pause the video continue
your chain in a multiple of three and then meet me back once you're ready so i've now done
my foundation chain for my sample piece and i've done 24 stitches which is a multiple of three
i'm now going to add an additional two for our turning chain one and two so for row one of this
pattern we're going to double crochet into the third chain from the hook so not the one that's
on the hook we have one and two and then this is the third chain so we're going to double crochet
which is a UK term in the US this is known as a single crochet we'll go straight into
that stitch and then we're going to yarn over and pull up a loop we'll have two loops on the hook
yarn over pull through both loops on the hook we're then going to chain two one and two and
we're going to double crochet into the same chain that we've just worked into so into the stitch
yarn over pull through two loops on the hook yarn over pull through two we're then going to
have a pattern repeat which we're going to work all the way along and this pattern repeat starts
off by skipping two chains one and two then into the next chain we're going to double crochet
chain two and double crochet into that same chain repeat that again skip two chains double crochet
chain two and double crochet into that same chain so you're going to repeat that all the
way across until you have two chains remaining so pause the video work that pattern repeat and then
meet me back once you're ready so i'm now at the end of this row and i have two chains remaining
and what we're going to do here is skip a chain
and then we're going to do a half treble crochet into that last stitch so that's a UK term
in the US this is known as a half double so it's yarn over go into that last stitch or chain
yarn over pull through three loops on the hook yarn over pull through all three loops on the hook
and there we have row one for row two we're going to turn our work
chain three one two and three that counts as a treble crochet we're going to skip the next stitch
so because this is a treble crochet we don't count this one that's classed as that stitch
so skip the next stitch and then work three trebles into this chain two space
so a treble crochet is a UK term in the US this is known as a double crochet
yarn over into that chain two space yarn over pull through three loops on the hook
yarn over pull through two two loops on the hook yarn over pull through two so that's one
two and three we then have a pattern repeat so we're going to skip the next two stitches
so we have a stitch here and then a stitch here
one and two and then directly after that second stitch we'll find that chain two space
and we're going to go ahead and do three treble crochets into that chain two space one
two and three and that is our pattern repeat so essentially we're just doing three treble
crochets into that chain two space so skip two stitches three treble crochets one two
and three skip two stitches and then three treble crochets into the chain two space
so you're going to work your way all the way along right into your last chain two space
working those three trebles into each of those spaces and then meet me back once you're ready
so once you've worked your way all the way across this is what your work should look like
we're now going to finish off this row by working a treble crochet into this last stitch which is
actually the turning chain so the missed chains that we did right at the very beginning that's
where we're going to work into so treble crochet into that last stitch and there we have row two
so we want to go ahead and turn our work for row three we're going to chain two
and that's going to count as a half treble which is half double in the US because that counts as a
stitch we ignore this one for now we skip the next stitch and then we're going to do a double crochet
chain two and double crochet into the next stitch and it works out to be the centre treble
of these stitches just here so double crochet chain two double crochet
so exactly the same as what we were doing when we were working into the chain but now we're working
into the stitches we're then going to skip two stitches and then work our pattern repeat so
the pattern repeat is double crochet chain two double crochet into that central treble
skip two stitches double crochet chain two
and then double crochet into that same stitch skip two stitches and then continue the pattern repeat
work that all the way across until you have three stitches remaining so bearing in mind
you're going to do double crochet chain two double crochet and skip two stitches
so you'll have these three stitches remaining here so pause the video work your way to the end
and then meet me back once you're ready so now you're at the end of this row you're going to
you'll have skipped these two stitches you're going to double crochet
chain two and double crochet into that next stitch and then you're going to skip a stitch
and then work a half treble into the remaining stitch so that is the turning chain just here that
was counting as a stitch so half treble crochet into that stitch and that is the end of row three
so from here row two and three are a pattern repeat so you can rewind to row two
if you need to and continue the pattern repeats but from here what you would do is chain three
which would count as a treble you'd skip those two stitches and then go ahead and do your three
treble crochets into that chain two space just as i showed you before so rewind as i say
if you need the repeats for those two rows so here we have the stitch
and that's been repeated row two and three four times and it looks really really beautiful it's
such a beautiful and easy stitch to do so if you like this stitch you might also enjoy this one
