Thought it was time I had a go at double crochet !! This time I am actually following a pattern from a book. It is from the book "Crochet" which is a DK book. I plan to review some of my many crochet books when time allows.
It is a very simple pattern, but hey ! we've all got to start somewhere :-)
Seems to be progressing okay. Had a minor panic when my stitch count at the end was one out. However, realised where I had gone wrong so frogged back a couple of rows. No, I had no idea what frogging was either until I joined the Bella Coco group, but apparently "to frog" means to "rip" stitches. It pays tribute to our amphibious friends, the frogs, and their choruses of "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit". When you discover a mistake in your crochet work, you rip it, rip it, rip it – hence, you frog it. So now you know !!
Anyway back to the pattern. I worked 30 chain. Row 1 was 1 double crochet into the second chain from the hook, and then 1 DC (double crochet) into each chain to the end. There should then be 29 DC. Row 2: 1 DC into each DC to end and then turn. You then repeat Row 2 until the work measures 12.5 cms (5 inches).
So I'm off to do a few more rows. Hopefully once it is done, I am reliably informed it will be a mobile phone case !! We shall see !!
