Materials Needed:
- Hook: 3.0 millimeter
- Yarn: 3 ply
Initial Setup:3
- Start by making chains. Chain 3 to begin.
- Make a double crochet in the first chain. Repeat to have two double crochets in the same chain.
- Chain 2, then make another 2 double crochets in the same starting chain.
Main Pattern:
Row 1:
- Chain 3 and turn your work.
- Make 2 double crochets in the two-chain space from the previous row.
- Chain 2, then make two more double crochets in the same chain space.
Continue the pattern, matching the width of the project to the desired measurement, which correlates to the portion of your garment this piece will cover (e.g., waistline for a belt).
Row 2 and Beyond:
- Chain 3 to start a new row, turn your work.
- Repeat the steps from Row 1, making 2 double crochets, chaining 2, and another 2 double crochets in the same two-chain space.
- To expand the piece to your desired size, continue these steps, ensuring to follow the increase ratio provided in the video if necessary.
Decreasing for Armholes or Necklines:
- To create armholes or neckline cutouts, begin skipping stitches and boundary points as instructed in the video. This includes making single crochet stitches across several stitches without increasing in specific sections to create the desired shaping.
Final Steps:
- Continue the pattern until you've reached the desired length and size for your garment.
- For finishing touches on edges or to create specific garment features like the neckline or armholes.
