4mm crochet hook

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc for every first dc of each round/row, so just choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitch used:

3dc- V stitch: ( 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc ) into same stitch

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated ).
