Tips:

  • If you have tight tension, you can use a Front Post Treble Stitch instead of the Front Post Double Crochet
  • When are doing the Post Stitches 2 rows below, make sure not to do a stitch in the Single Crochet of the row below of the same stitch or you will add to your stitch count. See pic tutorial
  • You will do a Dc/Fpdc row, then a sc row, then the next Dc/Fpdc row, The alternating rows with Fpdc, Dc… Make sure fpdc’s and dc’s will alternate so they don’t line up on each other. See pic
  • When making Chain 2 at the beginning of the DC row Does NOT count as a stitch. Make sure you start your first DC in that same st.
