Notes & Special Instructions
➤ TRIM: Twisted SC was used for trim. IF preferred, you can achieve same visual result with CRAB st (also known as REVERSE SC). Moogly video tutorial for Twisted SC
➤ Chains at beginning of a round/row NEVER count as a stitch.
➤ Total number of stitches per round/row in (#) at end.
➤ I tend to crochet TIGHT, so you may need to adjust your hook size to accommodate.
➤ I suggest using the invisible join for a seamless look when finishing off. Heart Hook Home video tutorial for Invisible Join
➤ 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/rounds.*
*1 – Chainless Beginning DC: This is the technique I prefer to use & this pattern is written using it. I use this same technique for 1st DC/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 - Ch2: This will get your sts to height of a DC & then place a regular DC in 1st st of row/round.
Granny Heart Coaster & Cloth Pattern
NOTES: | Do NOT turn at end of each round. End of rnd st counts do NOT include chains. You may find it helpful to put st marker in each of 4 corners. REMINDER: Use your preferred method for 1st DC stitch of these rows/rounds CORNERS: Rnds begin by working 1st part of corner. Next 3 Corners: 3DC-CL, Ch3, 3DC-CL. Rnds end by working 2nd part of 1st corner with Ch1 & join by working HDC into top of 1st DC (except on Rnd 4). This type of join will position you in middle of corner to begin next rnd. SUGGESTION: Carry color not being used on back side of work. |
