Pattern Instructions
Foundation: Chain an even number of stitches (e.g., 20, 30, 40).
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook. *ch 1, skip next ch, sc in next ch. Repeat from * across to the end. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as sc + ch-1 space), turn. Skip the first sc, sc in the first ch-1 space. *ch 1, skip the next sc, sc in the next ch-1 space. Repeat from * across.
Note: Your final sc should be worked into the last chain space of the previous row.
Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your piece reaches the desired length.
💡 Designer Note
To ensure straight edges, always count your stitches. If the edges seem to be "shrinking," make sure you aren't missing that very last chain space at the end of the row! For a more fluid drape, try using a hook one size larger than recommended on the yarn label.
