starting with this section right here making a chain of 23 I will be using 4
ply yarn and a size i 5.5 millimeter crochet hook take the loose end wrap it
over the main strand now you have a loop take the loop wrap it over the main
strand put your hook below the center strand back up the opposite side this
creates the slip knot work a chain of 23 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 I'm going to try Row 3 will be the same I am
NOT working a chain one I'm just working one single crochet in the first stitch
and in each stitch across you will continue with the remaining three rows
rows three through five will be one single crochet in each stitch across for
a total of 22 I'm over here on the edge of Row 3 and I wanted to show the last
two stitches this is where I did not work the chain one and you can still see
the stitch right this is stitch 21 and this is stitch 22 and what this does by
eliminating the chain one it makes the edge a little bit more snug and less
loose and I like the finish of the edge by not working the chain one it is
important to count so you don't lose track of your stitches I still have 22
I'm going to turn this is Row 4 and continue working one single crochet in
each stitch across for a total of 22 through rows 4 and 5 row 6 turn
work one single crochet in the first stitch work an increase two single
crochet in the next stitch one single crochet in each of the next 18 one two
three four five six seven eight nine ten 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 two single
crochet in the next stitch work one single crochet in the last stitch we
will have a total of 24 single crochet on row six we will turn row seven will
be one single crochet in each stitch across for a total of 24
this is what it looks like through row 7 I have completed 24 single crochet row 8

next stitch for the increase work one single crochet in each of the next 20
stitches one two three four five six
