I came across this stitch in an old booklet of crochet and knit information.
The instructions for the first row contain an error; it states to work in the fourth chain from hook, but you should begin in the third chain. I found correct instructions in another old book. That book however, did not contain Row 2, or that the repeat is from Row 2.
Chain an odd number
Row 1: Insert hook into 3rd chain and *pull up a loop, yarn over hook; pull up another loop through same chain, yarn over hook; pull another loop through same chain. You should have a total of 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, chain 1. Skip 1 chain.*
Repeat from * to end of row. Turn.
Row 2: Chain 2. *Insert hook into second stitch (after turning chain) pull up a loop, yarn over hook; pull up another loop through same chain, yarn over hook; pull another loop through same chain. You should have a total of 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, chain 1. Skip 1 chain.*
Repeat from * to end of row. Turn
Repeat from Row 2
This looks the same on both sides, so would be good for a scarf or other item where the back will be visible.
What is the multiple for this stitch? It's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteChain any odd number to start
DeleteIf I wanted to make a big like king size blanket in this pattern how long should I make the first chain?
ReplyDeleteDepends on what yarn and hook size is being used/gauge. You'd have to do a gauge swatch of the stitch with the yarn and hook you plan to use for the blanket and do a little math from there to get the beginning chain.

ReplyDeleteHow many should I chain, to make a baby blanket?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how big you want the blanket to be, what yarn and hook size you use, and your gauge. You'd have to do a gauge swatch of the stitch with the yarn and hook you plan to use for the blanket and do a little math from there to get the beginning chain.
