You will need:

• 3.5 mm or 4 mm crochet hook
• Green and red yarn recommended for the hook
• Scissors
• Two buttons

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain
• st – stitch
• sc – single crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• dc – double crochet
• reverse sc – reverse single crochet
• puff st – puff stitch
• X 5 – repeat 5 times
• at the end of every round total number of stitches is shown in brackets

Instructions:

Start with the red yarn. Make 56 ch, insert the hook in the 7th ch from the hook. This will be a loop for the first button.

Round 1: sc in all 50 ch (50)

Round 2: change to the green yarn, 2 turning ch, dc in next 5 st,
(skip 1 st, puff st in next st, 3 ch, puff st in the same st, skip 1 st, dc in next 6 st) X 4,

skip 1 st, puff st in next st, 3 ch, puff st in the same st, skip 1 st, dc in next 4 st, 2 turning ch (50)

Now basically we crochet the same round three more times. We crochet dc over dc stitches of the previous round and two puff st should be always crocheted through the hole between 2 puff st over previous round. If it is not clear, here is description of these steps:

Round 3: dc in next 3 st,
(puff st (in the hole between 2 puff st of the previous row), 3 ch, puff st in the hole again, dc in next 6 st) X 5
2 turning ch (50)

Round 4:
dc in next 5 st,
(puff st (in the hole between 2 puff st of the previous row), 3 ch, puff st in the hole again, dc in next 6 st) X 4,
puff st (in the hole between 2 puff st of the previous row), 3 ch, puff st in the hole again, dc in next 4 st, 2 turning ch (50)

Round 5: repeat the Round 3

Round 6: change back to the red yarn, dc in all 50 st (50), 6 ch (it is a second loop for a button), insert the hook in the last dc of the row

Round 7: change back to the green yarn, hdc in all 50 st (50)

Round 8: reverse sc in all 50 st (50)
