Special Stitches

Alpine Stitch: Traditionally, a 4-row repeat pattern where rows of dc and fpdc stitches are alternated with rows of sc stitches to create a beautiful textured diamond shape pattern on one side and a flat defined pattern on the other side. Because of the way this pattern is written in the round, the sc rows have been omitted and work alternating rows of dc/fpdc and fpdc/dc. As a rule of thumb (but not always), if the stitch below is a dc, then work a fpdc. If the stitch below is a fpdc, then work a dc.

Pattern Notes

• US Terminology
• This pattern is worked in the round, joining to the first st of each round with a sl st.
• When a round begins with ch 1, the ch does not count as a st, so work the following in the 1st st.
• When a round begins with ch 3, it counts as a st, so work the following in the next st.
• Stitches between *asterisks* are repeated around.
• Stitches between [brackets] are worked as many times as directed.
• Stitches between (parenthesis) are made in the same stitch.
• Stitches, separated by commas, are made in the next stitch.
• Repeat Rows 8&9 more or fewer times to create a taller or shorter cover.
• If you prefer to make a different size:
  • Wider/Skinnier pot: Add/subtract increased rounds at the base
  • Taller/shorter pot: Add/subtract rounds up the sides .*Tip: before the round with the sc in BLO, make sure the base matches the size of the base of your pot.
• The pots t used for my prototypes had a base tbout 1” smaller than the top of the pot, but the dc stitches up the sides allowed the cover to fit my little Walmart pots perfectly.
• I reused a plastic sour cream container lid and placed it inside my plant pot cover before adding the plant so it to catch excess water and not ruin the cover.
