1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2232

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2232

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as

you did for making a slip stitch

2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second

chain from hook

3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

usual way

4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

hook

HOW TO

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine

Instructions by Emma Seddon

The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook

Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless

A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is

rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to

work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise

for working into the foundation chain

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first

stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn

hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second

chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it

wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it

3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the

loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)

7212019 Summer Crochet

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning

andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each

edge or in the middle of a row The most

commonly used method for decreasing one or two

stitches in a row is working two or three stitches

together as one stitch

Try out these decreases in double half treble and

treble crochet so you will be familiar with them

when you first come across them in your crochet

pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most

simple stitch patterns and your instructions will

guide you through these when they are needed

Single dc decrease (dc2tog)

Working two double crochet stitches together is a

neater way to decrease one stitch than simply

missing a stitch

To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop

through the next stitch in the same way There are

now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all

3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double dc decrease (dc3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet

insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop

through then draw a loop through each of the next

2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on

the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease

Single htr decrease (htr2tog)

The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for

dc2tog

To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the

next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do

the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5

loops on the hook to complete the single decrease

Double htr decrease (htr3tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in half treble

crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch

yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in

each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops

on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on

the hook to complete the double decrease

37

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)

Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first

stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)

2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth

chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again

3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip

4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from

to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first

stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

the pattern stitch as normal

The principal for working two stitches together in

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked

up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one

final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook

then do the same in the next stitch You now have

3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single

decrease

Double tr decrease (tr2tog)

To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet

you work three stitches together just as for double

crochet and half treble crochet

To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw

through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the

same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4

loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all

4 loops on the hook to complete the double

decrease

of a row

When working decreases in treble crochet at the

beginning of a row remember that the three turning

chains at the beginning of the row will count as

your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the

base of your turning chain then work the decrease

over the next two or three stitches as normal

To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet

you will need to work your decrease and then work

a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain

so you need to count backwards from the edge of

the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

stitch It is especially important to count the number

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet

decrease to make sure you decreased by correct

number of stitches

Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet

stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when

working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the

beginning of the row and always work the last stitch

into the top of the turning row If there is an

exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out

clearly

A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row

You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to

create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-

stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and

sleeve head shaping

Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an

abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half

treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on

the row as shown then turn the work

2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in

the pattern stitch as normal

Decreasing one stitch in treble crochet (tr2tog)

Decreasing two stitches in treble crochet (tr3tog)

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same

row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the

case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the

beginning of the row as well

Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the

row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large

number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for

a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want

to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the

rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half

treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half

treble of the new row

It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment

which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo

To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch

required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the

garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as

explained here

A multi stitch increase at each end of a row

1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the

increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by

working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be

increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain

Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch

into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown

Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for

the increased stitches on the next row

2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the

number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the

garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the

added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra

stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip

stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row
