Yarn: Peaches and Cream worsted cotton, 2 oz. ball
Hook: G6/4mm
Gauge: 16 sts, 8 rows = 4”
Finished size: 9 ½” across, 8” tall
Special stitches:
bpdc- back post double crochet. A stitch made around the back of the post of the dc instead of into the “v” on top of the dc. Yo, insert hook from back to front, then back again around the post of the dc indicated, draw up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops on hook, yo pull through last 2 loops on hook. Bpdc made.
Fpdc- front post double crochet. A stitch made around the front of the post of the dc instead of into the “v” on top of the dc. Yo, insert hook through the front to the back, then in front again around the post of the dc indicated, draw up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops on hook, yo pull through last 2 loops on hook. Fpdc made.
Notes for post stitches: After completing a post st, the “v” of the st in the row below will remain empty, as you made a dc in front of, or behind it instead of on top of it. Be sure not to mistakenly st in that “v” when making your next regular dc. If you do, your ridges will not be parallel!
FInishing notes:
“hdc evenly along edge” means make approximately 2 sts into the side of every dc along the edge until you reach the corner. There are many tutorials online which further explain the specific techniques and rules of thumb for edge stitching.
“Invisible join” is a technique of joining rounds by sewing a faux stitch into a project’s final stitches with a yarn needle in order to avoid the noticeable knot made when finishing with a slip-stitch. There are many helpful tutorials online to assist with this finishing technique, if desired.
