GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS BACK LOOP ONLY ABBREVIATIONS BPdc ch(s) dc FPdc hdc MC mm Rnd(s) sc sp(s) st(s) tr YO Work only in loop(s) indicated by arrow (Fig. 1). Back Post double crochet(s) chain(s) double crochet(s) Front Post double crochet(s) half double crochet(s) Main Color millimeters Round(s) single crochet(s) space(s) stitch(es) treble crochet(s) yarn over Fig. 1 back both front POST STITCH Work around post of st indicated, inserting hook in direction of arrow (Fig. 2). H — work instructions following H as many more times as indicated in addition to the first time. † to † — work all instructions from first † to second † as many times as specified. ( ) — work enclosed instructions as many times as specified by the number immediately following or work all enclosed instructions in the stitch or space indicated or contains explanatory remarks. Fig. 2 front GAUGE Correct gauge is essential for proper size. Each Square is designed to measure 7" before the edging is added. Hook size given in instructions is merely a guide and should never be used without first making a sample Square in the yarn and hook specified. Then measure it carefully. If your Square is smaller than specified, try again with a larger size hook; if larger, try again with a smaller size. Keep trying until you find the size that will give you the specified gauge. DO NOT HESITATE TO CHANGE HOOK SIZE TO OBTAIN CORRECT GAUGE. MARKERS back WHIPSTITCH Place two Squares with wrong sides together. Beginning in center sc of first corner, sew through both pieces once to secure the beginning of the seam, leaving an ample yarn end to weave in later. Working through inside loop of each stitch of both Squares, insert the needle from front to back through first stitch and pull yarn through (Fig. 3), H insert the needle from front to back through next stitch and pull yarn through; repeat from H across to center sc of next corner. Fig. 3 In working the edging for each Square, it is necessary to work with “right side” facing. When instructed to place a marker to indicate the right side, loop a short piece of yarn around any stitch on the side facing before the work is turned. BLOCKING Due to the variety of pattern stitches used, some of the Squares may benefit from being blocked to the proper size. Place each Square on a clean terry towel over a flat surface and shape (each Square should measure 8" after edging is added); pin in place using rust-proof pins where needed. Steam lightly and allow to dry completely. LeisureArtsLibrary.com • #800115 Page of 18 ©2007 by Leisure Arts, Inc. BEGINNING CHAIN BASIC STITCH GUIDE CHAIN (abbreviated ch) To work a chain stitch, begin with a slip knot on the hook.
