Materials Needed:

• Any yarn of your choice
• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (check the yarn’s label for recommendations)

Pattern:

Foundation Row:

Starting Chain:

• Make a slip knot and chain an odd number of chains to achieve the desired width for your project.

Row Setup:

Double Crochet Row:

• Work into the 5th chain from your hook, and make a UK treble crochet (which is equivalent to a US double crochet). Continue to make one UK treble crochet (US double crochet) in every chain across. This completes your setup row.

Pattern:

Row 1 (The Pattern Creating Row):

Turning your Work:

• Start by turning your work for the new row.

Beginning Stitch:

• You may begin with a chain 2 or directly insert your hook into the top of the very first stitch, yarn over and pull up, yarn over and pull through two loops, then chain 1.

Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) & Half Double Crochet (HDC) Pattern:

• Skip the next stitch. Work a Front Post UK treble crochet (US Front Post Double Crochet) around the next stitch. Then work a UK half treble crochet (US Half Double Crochet) into the space after the skipped stitch. Repeat this across, working in pairs of one FPDC and one HDC in the space after the skipped stitch.

Final Stitches:

• As you approach the end, you will work your last FPDC around the last stitch, and then work an HDC in the top of the last skipped chains from the setup.

Row 2 (Straight Row):

Turning your Work:

• Turn your project to start the next row.

Straight Double Crochets:

• Start with the equivalent of a double crochet stitch height without the gap (this could be a chain 2 or another method as demonstrated in the video) and work one UK treble crochet (US double crochet) into each stitch across, making sure to work through the entire stitch each time.

Repeating the Pattern:

• Repeat Row 1 and Row 2 for the pattern, alternating between the two until your project reaches the desired size.

Finishing:

• You can finish your project on either Row 1 or Row 2. The pattern creates a reversible fabric with a rich, textured appearance. One side features crossed stitches for a unique look, while the other has a ridge-like texture.
