Chain Multiple is 7 + 4 to start
Abbreviations:
- Ch = chain
- RS = right side
- dc = double crochet
- dc5tog = double crochet 5 together
- FPdc2tog = front post double crochet 2 together
- FPdc5tog = front post double crochet 5 together
- decrease = used to refer to any of the dc5tog, FPdc2tog, FPdc5tog sts
This example will start with a chain of 25. Using the above multiple, you can make this as wide or thin as you’d like.
Row 1 (RS): 2 dc in the 4th ch from the hook (Note: the skipped 3 chs count as 1 dc st), dc5tog, ch 1, * skip the next ch, 5 dc in the next ch , dc5tog, ch 1 *. Repeat from * to * to the last 2 chs; skip the next ch, 3 dc in the last ch
Row 2: ch 3 (Note: the ch 3 counts as 1 dc st), turn; FPdc2tog, work 5 dc in the next ch, * skip the next decrease, work FPdc5tog, ch 1, work 5 dc in the next ch *. Repeat from * to * across to the last 4 sts. Skip the next decrease, FPdc2tog then work 1 dc in the last dc of the row
Row 3: ch 3 (Note: the ch 3 counts as 1 dc st), turn; 2 dc in the next decrease, work FPdc5tog, ch 1, * work 5 dc in the next ch, skip the next decrease, work FPdc5tog, ch 1 *. Repeat from * to * across to the last 2 sts. Work 2 dc in the next decrease and 1 dc in the last dc
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until desired length.
