Abbreviations

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

st(s) = stitch(s)

Chain an odd number of stitches. I chained 21.

Row 1:
In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet (sc). In the next chain, work a double crochet (dc). Keep alternating single and double crochets across the row, ending with a double crochet.

Chain 1. Turn your work. 20 sts.

I almost always work in the back bump of chain stitches. It isn’t necessary, but doing so gives a nicer finish and is easier to work into if you are going to add a border.

Row 2:
Start with a single crochet in the first stitch (a dc from the previous row). Follow with a double crochet in the next stitch (a sc from the previous row). Keep alternating single and double crochets across the row. Chain 1. Turn your work. 20 sts.

Repeat Row 2:
Stick with this pattern, repeating Row 2 throughout your project. The alternating stitches create a charming, textured fabric.

Remember:

1. Double crochet into the single crochets and single crochet into the double crochets of the previous row.

2. Always end a row with a double crochet.
