GAUGE: 7 dc = 2" with J hook;

4 rows with J hook = 5 1/2";with G hook = 4 1/2"; with H hook = 5";

 

SKILL: easy

 

SUPPLIES: blunt needle, scissors, stitch markers (optional), tape measure

 

STITCHES: chain, single crochet, slip stitch; double crochet; half double crochet; shell

 

ABBREVIATIONS: ch = chain; sc = single crochet; sl st = slip stitch; hdc = half double crochet; sc2tog = single crochet 2 together; st = stitch; sts = stitches; ea = each; sk = skip;

INSTRUCTIONS
