If you have old or uncomfortable lawn chairs, this is the perfect project to make your Summer space fun and bright!!

Let’s get started…

Dc-Double Crochet

X St – Sk st, dc in next st, dc in previous sk st.

Instructions:

Ch 48

Row 1:  Dc in 3rd ch from hook, *dc in next 6 sts, sk 2 sts, dc in next 6 sts, 3 dc in next st*, repeat *to* 1 more time, dc in next 6 sts, sk 2 sts, dc in next 6 sts, 2 dc in last st. = 46 dc
