Used Patterns

Zigzags pattern, straight and reversed rows: the quantity of sts is multiple 16 + 1. Work due to the scheme 1. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1st double crochet or 1 extra chain sts and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-4th rows x once, then, repeat 3rd-4th rows.

Stripes order: * 6 grey rows, 2 ginger rows, 6 green rows, 2 sandy rows*; repeat from * to *.

Zigzags pattern, circle rows: the quantity of sts is multiple 16. Work due to the scheme 2. Start every circle row with 3 or 1 chain st increase instead of the 1st double crochet or 1st single crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat and 1 slip st. Make 1st-6th rows x once, then, repeat 5th-6th rows.

Stitches control: straight and reversed rows: 24 sts x 14,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Circle rows: 24 sts x 15 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
