Stitch Anatomy

Special Stitches:

dc3tog cluster: *yarn over, insert your hook into the specified stitch, yarn over and pull up 1 loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops**. Rep from * to ** 2 more times. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops to finish the stitch. This is worked all in one stitch or space.

Notes

We begin by working in rows and then switch to rounds. There are no slip stitches to join the rounds. The seam is slightly angled but not so noticeable because of the alternating rounds of stitches.

Pattern Instructions

ROW 1: Ch 53, 1 dc in the 5th ch from the hook (the sk 4 chs count as the first dc) and in each rem ch across. [50 dc]

Round 2: Continuing now in rounds, 1 dc3tog cl in the first dc, ch 1, sk 1 dc, *1 dc3tog cl in the next dc, ch 1, sk 1 dc**; rep from * to ** around. [25 dc3tog cl, 25 ch1sp]

Round 3: 1 dc in each dc3tog cl and each ch1sp around. [50 dc]

Round 4: Rep R2

Round 5: Rep R3, finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends. Use your yarn tail from R1 to seam the little seam at the beginning of Row 1 together. Finish off and weave in ends. Stretch slightly to pull the stitches even on the top and bottom at the seam.
