Moogly Video Instructions for EX-DC (use this same technique in an Extended Front POST DC st).

Notes & Special Instructions
➤ Chains at beginning of a round/row NEVER count as a stitch.
➤ First DC Options: In this pattern, the 1st DC st in rows/rounds will always be noted as a regular DC. There will be NO Chain instructions on rows/rounds beginning with a DC. Use your preferred method for 1st DC stitch of these rows.
1 - Chainless Starting DC: This is the technique I prefer to use. I also use this technique for 1st FPDC/BPDC of rows/rounds. Moogly Video Tutorial for Chainless Beginning DC stitch
2 - Stacked SC: Stacking 2 SC will result in a similar look to a DC st without added bulk of a Ch2. Brianna K Video Tutorial for Stacked SC
3 - Ch3: Use this as 1st DC of row/round.
4 - Ch2: This will get your sts to height of a DC & then place a regular DC in 1st st of row.

FRINGE INSTRUCTIONS
TIP: | I cut my pieces ~12-14” long (resulting in ~6” finished/trimmed length) |
NO BEADS | Attach fringe pieces in Ch10 loops across BOTH short ends. |
ADD BEADS | NOTE: You will need a small enough hook that will fit through holes in beads being used. Insert small hook through bead hole, grab Ch10 loop & pull it all the way through the bead hole. There should be enough of loop hanging out to add fringe in it. Add fringe & pull bead snug down on top of fringe. Repeat this process for each Ch10 Loop across BOTH short ends.
