Today, I will be sharing with you the written instructions for the Scale Pattern posted a few weeks ago on my YT channel. Please read the notes and special stitches description carefully before attempting the pattern.
Material Needed:
Worsted yarn (weight 4)
A hook that matches the yarn used.
(I used Red Heart Ombre Yarn with 4 mm hook. For a more flowy result, you may use a bigger hook size)
Notes:
- The pattern is written using US Terms.
- Chain 1 in the beginning of the row is NOT counted as a stitch and always skipped.
- Stitch abbreviation x number e.g., SCx3: Single crochet into each of the next 3 stitches.
- This pattern is a 2-row repeat.
- Please read the special stitches section before attempting the pattern.
Abbreviations: (alphabetically)
CH: Chain
FPSC: Front Post Single Crochet
HDC: Half Double Crochet
HDC-3rd Loop: Work the half double crochet in the 3rd loop of the half double stitch of the previous row.
SC: Single Crochet
ST(S): Stitch(es)
Special Stitch:
Front Post Single Crochet: Count 3 stitches backward on your current row (including the half double crochet you have just finished). Trace the third stitch (the first stitch of the repeat) down to the row below. Insert the hook from the front to the back and out on the front side around the half double crochet stitch in the previous row, yarn over and pull a loop (2 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through the 2 loops.
SC-Around CH: Around the 3 chains made to connect the 2 rows together, work 5 single crochet stitches to get you back to the current row.
Pattern:
Chain a multiple of 3
Row 1: SK1, HDC across the row till you finish all STS.
Row 2: CH1, Turn. HDC, (HDCx3, CH3, FPSC, SC-Around CH). Repeat () till one ST remaining, HDC.
Row 3: CH1, Turn. HDC, HDC-3rd loop across the row till 1 ST remaining, HDC.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 till the end of your project.
