🧶 Pattern Overview

• Worked in rows
• Built from a 2-row repeating pattern
• Uses:
  • Double crochet (dc)
  • Chains (ch)
  • Space-based stitching
• Texture: raised + slightly zigzag / layered effect

👉 This type of stitch is known for being simple but visually rich, often used in shawls, sweaters, and blankets

---

🟦 PART 1: Foundation Chain

Step 1: Start chain

• Make a multiple of 2 + 1 chains

👉 Example:

• 21, 23, 25, etc.

---

🟦 PART 2: Row 1 (Base Row)

1. Skip first chain
2. Work 1 single crochet (sc) in each chain across

👉 This creates a firm base (important for this pattern)

---

🟦 PART 3: Row 2 (Creating First Pattern Row)

1. Ch 3, turn (counts as dc)

Repeat across:

• Skip 1 stitch
• In next stitch → work 1 dc
• Ch 1

Repeat:

• skip 1 stitch → dc → ch 1

👉 End:

• 1 dc in last stitch

💡 This row creates:

• Even chain spaces
• Foundation for the textured pattern

---

🟦 PART 4: Row 3 (Main Texture Row ⭐)

1. Ch 3, turn

👉 VERY IMPORTANT:
You will now work into chain spaces (not stitches)

---

Pattern repeat:

In each ch-1 space:

• Work (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc)

👉 Skip all stitches between spaces

---

End of row:

• 1 dc in last stitch

---

🟦 PART 5: Row 4 (Building the Unique Look)

1. Ch 3, turn

Repeat:

• Work dc into next space
• Ch 1

👉 Continue across

---

💡 This row slightly shifts stitches → creates:

• Texture
• Light “wave” effect

---

🟦 PART 6: Main Repeat Pattern

From now on repeat:

👉 Row 3 + Row 4

✔ Always work into spaces
✔ Maintain chain spacing
✔ Keep last stitch as dc

---

🟦 PART 7: Understanding the Texture

This pattern works because:

✔ Chains create open gaps
✔ Double crochet builds height
✔ Alternating rows shift stitches → create texture

👉 Many unique crochet stitches are simply combinations of basic stitches arranged differently

---

🟦 PART 8: Growing Your Project

Continue repeating rows until desired size:

For shawl:

• Make wide rectangle OR
• Add increases for triangle

For blouse:

• Make 2 panels
• Join shoulders
• Leave arm openings

---

🟦 PART 9: Edge / Border

Simple border:

• sc around

Decorative border:

• (sc, ch 2 or 3, sc) in same stitch

---

🟦 PART 10: Final Step

• Fasten off
• Weave in ends
• Light blocking

👉 Blocking improves stitch definition and shape

---
