Materials: ( I used )
5.5 mm crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn: dark green ( about 1000 gr for the sample – size L / 200 gr or 360 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Buttons
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitch used:
2×2 fpdtr left cross: ( worked over 4 sts )
skip next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working in front of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
2-1-2 fpdtr left cross: ( worked over 5 sts )
skip next 3 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind fpdtr just made, sc in 3rd skipped st, working in front of fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of first 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
