Used Patterns
Wavy pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 12. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1st-4th rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-4th rows due to the stripes order. For double crochets of the 2nd and 4th rows insert crochet hook in back loop of st, WS row – in front loop of the previous row.
Stripes order: * 1 orange row, 1 yellow row, 1 melange yellow row and 1 turquoise row*; repeat from * to *.
Net pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 6 + 4. Make in the same way, as wavy pattern, but due to the scheme 2. Make 1st-3rd rows x once, then, repeat 2nd-3rd row.
Stitches control: wavy pattern: 17 sts x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
Net pattern: 21,5 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
